When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

The only ‘democracy’ in the Middle East seizing books & arresting #Booksellers? This is not freedom.

Wow, Broken Pencil, Canzine, and the Zine Awards are in the processing of closing, according to Olea Kim, the magazine's co-editor. This is a huge blow to independent arts and culture in Canada, and zine culture everywhere. I used to write and copy edit BP under its previous editor. I'll miss it.

For those interested in a free press, Small Press Distribution’s sudden closure this year was a major disruption to indie booksellers. At April’s Northern Arizona Book Festival in #Flagstaff it was an urgent topic of discussion, an all-hands-on-deck moment where folk leapt into action. #NAZbooks
