Independent Bookstores (Maps)

Retro book shop elementsI believe that in today’s book-buying climate, while it is good to have the option of buying books online, it is also of crucial importance that we continue to purchase books from independent bookstores. In fact, if the ease of online shopping is what we wish, many indie bookstores have online store features (although not the deep discounts of the large online companies — so authors and illustrators are still getting just compensation for their work if one orders through an indie.)

I have written several blog posts featuring a different independent bookstore somewhere in the world. The links are below. Then scroll down — the maps further down the page will show you where each is located. I hope you’ll support independent bookstores (in person and online) whenever possible!
