Support Indies
When you order new books, consider supporting local indie shops by ordering through Bookshop.org instead of Amazon, and choose us or any Colorado indie under the button that says "Choose your bookstore." The shop you support will receive up to 30% of the proceeds of your order.
Lastly, thanks to everyone who came out to shop local indie bookstores everywhere on Saturday, April 27, Independent Bookstore Day :) We appreciate you!
