Our website is always open, and we really appreciate your support 💚

🎃 Phillip Anderson is UNDEAD 🧛🏻‍♀️ @phillipanderson.bsky.social · Jun 14

The crowd has at least doubled in the last half hour and folks are still coming in from every direction. Also by far the most diverse of any of these events this year. This crowd just looks a hell of lot more like #Baltimore. Impeccable vibes, too. #NoKings

Image shows a very large crowd in front of the Patterson Park pagoda in Baltimore. Many are holding handmade protest signs.

Thank you for the most wonderfully bustling and busy Independent Bookstore Day! I think we must have the coolest, chillest, funniest, and most brilliant customers around, and someday I’ll understand how we got so lucky.

Thank you, Baltimore, for always showing up for your indie bookstores!!!

Shop indie on Independent Bookstore Day and also every day 🎉

Dave Infante @dinfontay.com · Apr 25

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Every April, we celebrate Independent Bookstore Day to remind us how vital indie bookstores are to our communities and society. It’s a day of joy and solidarity, and significant financial impact for these bookstores.

This year, Amazon is undercutting that with a “Book Sale” on the same day—a calculated move by a company that has already put half the bookstores in the country out of business, controls over 60% of the market and sells far more books than all indie bookstores combined. The people at Amazon responsible for the timing of their "Book Sale" should be ashamed, but they are shameless.
