Amazon = Wal-Mart
The survival of independent bookstores and related author events requires an engaged, local-loving customer base. Buying online from Amazon undermines our survival. It is now commonly understood that Wal-Mart's low prices come at a high cost to workers, communities, and the environment.
We're asking you to take the same stand on purchases from Amazon and other corporate booksellers.
What about titles we don't carry in the bookstore? We can special order any quantity of nearly any title for you. Orders generally arrive within the week. So, special order gift books, children's books, cookbooks -- you name it.
Every day, enthusiastic, book-affirming reactions from an incredibly diverse group of people demonstrate that books will be around forever. You have told us that you appreciate our carefully selected collection of progressive books. If you take and share the commitment to "shop local" to heart, we can sustain Busboys and Poets Books and other independent bookstores for the long haul.
