13 Ways to Support Your Indie Bookshop
These days, there are more ways than ever to show support for our independent bookshop, no matter our budget or accessibility needs. And not only does it feel good to shop small, but it’s so much fun!

Psst! Wanna buy a book? We have lots!
With so many great new books just out, our shelves are groaning! Stop by and take a look. We’re usually open Wednesday to Sunday, 10-4.30. #indiebookshop #localbookshop #readingisfundamental #booksbooksbooks
The Book Lounge is also a second home to host to the Open Book Festival, sparking conversations and connections as authors and readers come together for a fabulous 3-day book event!
Are you there this year?
See how many Holland House/Island Prize/Karavan Press titles you can spot!

I really do not want to buy books from amazon.
But bookshop.org does not have the author I want, and it is way to expensive to get from the author's own website, as the books would be delivered from US, costing more in shipping than in products.

@petergleick Adding a link to the UK equivalent, Hive, & an independent bookshop that I like to support:
https://www.hive.co.uk/Shops/Between-the-Lines-Great-Bardfield
- but if you can visit in person you will find additional books not available online, such as the new 'History of Great Bardfield' (with a chapter on its #14thCentury prosperity due to the #LadyOfClare). From personal experience, great conversations may ensue!

Good morning and a very happy Friday to you! We are open from 10-4.30 today and jam-packed full of wonderful new books; from Ali Smith’s latest novel Gliff to My Teacher is a Monster by Peter Brown. Pop into your #localbookshop to see what’s new! #scottishborders #indiebookshop
@stewf Similarly in the UK, one can support independent bookshops by buying from Hive. That's the preferred platform for my current favourite, Between the Lines in Great Bardfield:

🙏 @hkfp for documenting ⬆️ this #IndieBookshop #closure & the #HongKong #BookLovers' #farewell.
@shoofle … & to allow oneself to be infected by small joys while supporting diverse workplaces & supply chains, human scale, flexibility & resilience? Please don’t discourage me from believing in the transformative potential of #SmallBusiness!
& the possibility to inspire even after closure… reflecting today on #IndieBookshop #MountZero & the affection & #community it developed in #HongKong: https://hongkongfp.com/2024/04/02/in-pictures-hong-kong-book-lovers-bid-farewell-to-independent-store-mount-zero/

Been to Alnwick today to swap a box of kids books for a handful of weightier tomes at Barter Books. We then popped into town to search out a new independent bookshop. What a brilliant find. The Accidental Bookshop is well worth a visit. Article here from its opening in 2022.
Our Christmas hours this year are exactly the same as our regular hours - Thursday, Friday & Sunday 11-3, including Christmas Eve & New Year's Eve! You will often find us open a little earlier and later in the day but these are our core times.
Good morning bibliophiles. It's a bit of a grey day in Winchcombe, perfect for reading or book shopping.
New stock in includes this super sweet 2001 Limited Edition Dean's Rag Book Bear and the brilliant Booklover's Guide to Bookshops 2024 Calendar by Thomas Shepherd.

Good morning! It’s a little less stormy here in the Gala valley today and a perfect time to pop into your local #indiebookshop for a treat for yourself or a friend!
We’ve lots of new books in this week and open until 5.30pm. See you soon!
Thinking of #14thCentury #Oxford thanks to the splendid #MedievalMurderMaps, I'm delighted to see that the #OxfordMedievalMysteries are on sale again. These evocative #novels by #AnnSwinfen are set in 1353-4, the adventures of a young #bookshop proprietor as life & business begin to normalise after the #plague.
Buy from https://www.hive.co.uk/Search/Search?Series=Oxford%20Medieval%20Mysteries & support your favourite #IndieBookshop, so that they too may live to write a #Bookseller's Tale!

@linuxgnome @lydiaconwell For #books, CD/DVD & some stationery in the UK, Hive also supports #independentbookshops, and it's a vital source of income for my favourite #IndieBookshop: https://www.hive.co.uk/
I just went to Wellfield #Bookshop to pick up a couple of #books for my #TBR pile. It’s the closest #IndieBookshop to me and I can always buy something good from there.
I’ve seen Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch around for a while now, but it’s taken me this long to get it. I’ve also heard of The Tatami Galaxy by Tomohiko Morimi. Apparently it got turned into an #anime, but I know nothing more than that.
I went to Griffin Books in #Penarth and bought some #books for the #TBR pile. Might take a while to get round to #reading them, but I'm glad I went to an #IndieBookshop in #Cardiff.
Good morning! Another beautiful Friday and we’re open again! We’ve lots more books just arrived and it’s a perfect day for a picnic from Stow Post Office or lunch at the Cloudhouse Cafe and Gallery - pop by and say hello! #bookshop #indiebookshop #scottishborders
@CandaceRobbAuthor @clive Agree! For delivery of books & music in the UK there's also www.hive.co.uk
My current favourite #IndieBookshop loves Hive.The #bookshop is tiny, with very high danger-to-size ratio, & has made as much money through nominations on Hive as on direct sales. Hive is run by Gardners the big UK book distributor. If you can pick up in the shop, it earns 25%.
Good morning! Madainn mhath!
It’s Friday, which means we are open again!
We have expanded our Scottish, history and nature sections - pop in and take a look!
There's a lot going on in Stow this weekend - drop by and see us if you're passing! We're open 1000-1730 today, Saturday and Sunday. #bookshop #indiebookshop #shoplocal
I accidentally discovered a newly opened indie bookstore close to home! I bought two books that ought to be useful for future projects (wink wink).
Happy Opening, Sunken City Books!

Today we had a delivery due,
Adaptive aids for Mum.
I had to stay in to wait for them,
So started the day with document wrangling.
Had a long work phone call,
And booked my first site visit.
Took Dad to visit Mum in hospital,
Had a chat with the neighbouring patient.
Did more admin,
Interspaced with some space clearing.
Did caretaking,
And also cleared some ivy growth.
Watched a bit of YouTube,
And finished another book.
Ordered more books,
From my local #IndieBookshop.
Time for bed,
#Night all.
