Only thing to wear today for #SmallBusinessSaturday - off to the bookshop!

It's Small Business Saturday! We know Amazon serves up irresistible deals, but a closer look at the label reveals unsavoury ingredients - including tax avoidance, worker mistreatment, and a deeply corrosive impact on our community shops. Avoid Amazon. Shop Small! uk.bookshop.org/lists/win-a-...

Avoid Amazon. Shop Small! Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday. We hope you can get down to a brilliant local indie bookshop. If not, snap up a book and support indie booksellers with us - and you're in with the chance of winning a £250 Bookshop.org gift card. Support bookshops, not billionaires.

FREE Shipping is GO! Get your paws on some excellent books with free delivery 28 Nov-1 Dec. Support independent bookshops, indie booksellers (and their cats.) Bookshop.org [Site-wide | UK only | Standard shipping]

We are 5! 🎈 THANK YOU for being part of the mission. At a time when Amazon profits are soaring, and small businesses face ever increasing pressure, WHERE you choose to spend your money makes all the difference in keeping these community spaces on the high street. Bookshop.org

This is such a great initiative and charity, I really encourage you to discover more about Bookbanks and help spread the word 😊

It's Bookshop Day! Get down to your local independent bookshop and buy a book or three. No local bookshop? Snap up a book with us 10-12 October and you could WIN a £250 gift card. EVERY sale supports indie booksellers, not billionaires. uk.bookshop.org/lists/win-a-...

Happy #BookshopDay to all my bookselling friends and colleagues. A great excuse - not that you need one - to go visit your local bookshop and go breathe in the heady aroma of new books hitting the shelves this Autumn 😊

For those of us who've been around the block a few times, this is largely a rehash of the Countryside Guardians / Bernard Ingham (remember him?) claims in the 80s that "wind turbines were an eyesore whilst pylons led the eye gently across the landscape". Classic 'why do things have to change?' cry

"Our call out to the industry is simple but urgent: consider indies when you are thinking about pre-orders." During #IndieBookshopWeek, Jasper Sutcliffe makes a powerful plea to publishers: put indies at the heart of pre-order campaigns @thebookseller.com - www.thebookseller.com/comment/push...

Had a brilliant day yesterday in the glorious Dorset sunshine visiting Folde and The Kitchen Table in Shaftesbury. What a lucky town to have two beautiful bookshops 😍

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

How to save your Granny from Runaway Train should definitely be on one of those top life hacks lists 😂

Hello, readers! We've been lurking for a while to learn the ropes, looking for a replacement for the old place. So now we're going to dip our toes in. I don't know what you should expect, but I also miss an easy place to recommend books, chat abut indie magazines, and share some shop stories, so...

Looking forward to reading Climate Injustice from @frediotto.bsky.social. Get your own copy here: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/clim...

Also, Publishing, I invite any of you to come and stand with me in the bookshop on a busy Saturday and see what real children want. Look at their faces when they see the print, the number of pages, the blurb. Children don't read the blurb btw.
