Going Indie...

Posted by drey December 14, 2009 at 2:00 PM

If you've been here for a while, you've (probably) noticed that the book covers here all link to Amazon.com. Well, for 2010, I am going to change that practice, and link to IndieBound instead. I firmly believe in supporting local, independent booksellers, and want to walk the walk, not just talk the talk.

So. For 2010, all cover images will link to IndieBound, where you can search for a local bookseller. And if I remember to, I will include a text link to Amazon and B&N as well. Happy reading!

Unknown said...: I don't link book covers to anywhere but IndieBound is certainly a good idea that I might want to consider myself. Good for you Drey, independent stores do need all the support they can get.; 15 December, 2009 06:46
Susan Helene Gottfried said...: Yay! You might also want to link to Powells.com -- they're huge, yeah, but are independent in that they only have the one (two?) Oregon locations.

I'm into this, babe. But you read Win a Book; you know what a sucker I am for the indie!; 15 December, 2009 06:48
drey said...: That's a great idea, Susan!! I'll look into it. I might have to make my covers smaller, with all the links I'm adding, lol!; 15 December, 2009 07:44

I agree with Susan you should consider Powells.com for those of us who buy books on-line and need them shipped to us. Take care my friend and have great week.
