Get Your Books Elsewhere - A Choice of Bookshops 

12/3/2016

 
Finding an alternative bookshop to Amazon is something we all think about, I mean, let's be honest, is it really fair to give them all of our custom? I know they're handy and there's something about the name that makes it easy to say and yet, their reputation for paying low tax, for treating workers poorly, and for having a global monopoly on the entertainment and consumerism markets, it's about time the tables were turned and the pie was cut a little more evenly.


I wrote about Amazon alternatives a while ago and produced a list of various companies that deal in all sorts of things. This time, I will do my best to stick to books. We love books, books end up in every room of our home and so when we get them, we want to make sure we do our bit for the world. Sometimes this means spreading our buying habits around a bit, so without further ado, here's some great alternatives to Amazon.


Alibris are based in America, have regular deals and also offer textbook rentals for a fraction of the usual price.


Wordery are a British based bookshop and with this link there's free delivery on any of their over nine million items.


Blurb offer free self publishing so their bookshop is full of all sorts of random goodies.


Abe's books are specialists in rare, old and strange books, they do most other books too by the way. British based, worldwide serving.


Better World Books deliver worldwide for free and give some of their profits over to literacy programs. The operate in the States but also have this UK site.


Dover Books are a company that sell older literature, printed in new paperbacks. They also do other books too.


Ebooks.com is the main street marketplace for any digital book on the scene, they do the best prices and work with all the formats that people ask for.
