Mutual Aid by Dean Spade is free on Libro for the next week (until 2/2). We know that books can't fix everything, but they can help us show up for and strengthen our communities. Our employee book club read this last year, leading to a great discussion. We hope that it helps others do the same 💗 ⏬

Samizdat is powerful. When we named our bookstore we did so in honor of the ordinary people who pushed back against totalitarianism. Also, the name serves as our daily reminder that it is our duty, as ordinary people, to push back in whatever ways we can.

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

Supper club is every Monday from 5-8pm. Get a big bowl of vegan and gluten free beans for $7 or $5 or nothing, whatever you can pay. Also, bring your bookworm brigade bag and get 20% off of all retail items you can fit inside!

Losing IAIA will be such an enormous blow to the region it’s difficult to contemplate.

Everything is wrong with this, but on a purely selfish note from a Northern New Mexico bookstore, IAIA is a robust pipeline for authors and poets in addition to being a local information resource. When I’m in the plaza area I talk to their staff (and buy books) and get great recommendations.

The second most popular teenager purchase today (#1 being boba) was the Smithsonian edition of The Constitution of the United States of America.

We have books on all sorts of topics. Someone asked us today if we have a banned books section and we were like that’s the whole store.

Anyway, we’ll continue to do our best to reflect our pluralistic society. And all of us need to be ready to loudly and vehemently defend our public libraries from the type of censorship occurring in places like Fort Campbell.

It’s been our general philosophy that when it’s, for example, Black History Month, we should simply be able to go to the stacks and pull relevant books and make a display, no special orders needed. If we can’t do that, we’ve slipped up along the way and need to reevaluate our ordering.

Valentine’s is coming! Parents need a night out and a night off. Also, the world is on fire! and we all want to do *something*. These two events aren’t related in anything but proximity of timing, but we’re not going to let that stop us! lasteamlab.com/shop/parent-...

Also tea. Much of our tea comes from Canadian distributors. We got a big order across the border a couple days ago. But we can’t order massive stock in advance. We don’t know what this means for pricing yet. We are not raising prices in advance, though :)

Blurbs are almost entirely useless and when a cover is particularly beautiful the presence of a blurb ruins it. Unless that blurb is “Daddy’s diary definitely delivers.” Which is on a book we received this week. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Why Simon & Schuster’s Flagship Imprint Won’t Require Blurbs Anymore

In a decision some might call “stunning” or a “tour-de-force,” new S&S publisher Sean Manning has decided to no longer require authors to obtain blurbs for their books. Here’s why.

Apropos of nothing in a town full of folks with security clearances, we do not maintain digital records of your purchases. It’s probably traceable through your credit card and our point of sale system, but if you use cash? Nope.

If you’re downtown tomorrow for Winterfest weekend, stop by the bookstore and Fuller Lodge Art Center for free gifts! When you bring a Saturday Samizdat receipt to the Art Center, you’ll get a free bookmark. Bring us a receipt from the Art Center and you’ll get a free recycled sari gift wrap!

Ever wonder about those recycled sari scarves we have hanging up by the register? We have them there so folks can use them for reusable furoshiki gift wrap. On this Black Friday, get one free wrap with every hardcover book you purchase!
