Added Low Tech Magazine to my list of DRM-free bookshops.
Low-tech Magazine was founded in November 2007 and underscores the potential of past and often forgotten technologies and how they can inform sustainable energy practices.
It's a Sunday, which means another day in our bookshop! 2024 has been a patchy year so far, so I'm hoping the better (?) weather brings bookish types out! #bookshop#scottishborders#books
Where (in England) do they sell physical copies of mathematics and physics textbooks that you can pick up and peruse before buying?
The obvious answer is Foyles on Charing Cross Road, but lately the selection of maths & physics textbooks there has been pitiful. They're barely bothering to stock textbooks any more (it didn't look much better for the adjacent chemistry and biology sections either), and lately when I've gone, it's not sated my need to physically shop for textbooks.
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.
🇪🇸 Madrid’s OLDEST bookshop, the San Ginés Book Shop
A stone’s throw from one of the most famous places in #Madrid for churros with chocolate is this picturesque #bookstore. The San Ginés #BookShop is actually one of the oldest #bookshops in #Spain
It is situated in the scenic Pasadizo de San Ginés, between Calle Arenal and Calle Mayor, near the parish of the same name and Chocolatería de San Ginés
Its beginnings can be traced to the 17th century when #Diego_Logroño ⏩
Dear English-speaking #indieauthor.s, can you help me out with a question on book catalogues? Currently my books are listed in the German VLB, but print on demand providers like Bookvault request the data from Nielsen. How can I get my book data into that Nielsen catalogue? In which catalogues do you list your books? @maryrobinette or @mwl maybe? RT welcome.
While I often use the local indie #bookshop, I also am often in remoter places with no bookshop (sob) So I am interested in online book sellers.
Who among the booklovers uses new-to-me Tertulia.com?
Is it even open to folks outside the US? I'd love to hear about anyone's experience/thoughts
In Traveller today in The Sunday Age (Melbourne) and Sun-Herald (Sydney), my travel writer colleagues and I talk about the places we always go back to in certain countries.
My nomination: The Last Bookstore in Los Angeles (it's fabulous!).
It's not online yet, so pick it up in print today and I'll share the link later if it goes online.
Just picked up by my husband from our local #bookshop, the indie bookshop version of the new #TerryPratchett lost stories book. We will mainly be reading it in #ebook, especially me who needs a gargantuan font due to #neuro#reading problems from brain damage. But we wanted this print copy too. #Books#Bookstodon#Fantasy#ShortStories
Looking for your very own copy of horror anthology This Fresh Hell? Readings at Emporium still has it, tucked into an Anthology shelf next to Australian Fiction
You've heard the saying "God laughs at your plans." Well, I had planned to go shopping on Saturday, at the biggest used book emporium I could find, but I got deathly ill late on Friday night and I'm just now crawling out of it.
So, today, we have chosen a vintage book shop owned by women (bonus points) and I hope they're ready for us. They have 80,000 used books and collectibles. "Jeeves, my shopping cart!" It's like letting us loose in a candy store.
Added Vivlio to Libreture's DRM-free bookshop list. 🛒
Vivlio is a French-language e-reader manufacturer and ebookshop, and stocks thousands of mainly French ebooks, but also some Italian and English titles, in all genres. 🇫🇷📚
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
