Online shopping for books

Post by ge_rik » Sun Nov 01, 2020 9:52 am

Now we are about to enter another lockdown in the run up to Christmas, can I draw your attention to hive.co.uk .

Unlike some other well known online booksellers, they are a UK company, paying UK taxes and every time you buy a book from them they donate part of their profit to a local bookshop of your choosing.

I have no connection to the company, other than being a satisfied customer with a conscience.

More info about their ethos here .... https://www.hive.co.uk/WhatsHiveallabout

A similar UK online bookseller to Hive in that they also support local bookshops and pay UK taxes (unlike a certain global online seller!). If your favourite local independent bookshop isn't listed on Hive, then you might find it here.

https://uk.bookshop.org/

Again, I have no affiliation other than supporting my local independent bookshop.
