I started bookselling in 1996: end of the Net Book Agreement & Amazon UK. Everyone predicted bricks & mortar bookstores wd die. Ebooks, Wstones monopoly (they don't pay living wage btw).
Yet we persist: indie bookstores are community centres. Books are the bricks. Buy em from us. Throw em at Nazis.

Amazon takes a HUGE cut of sales price and have ridiculous returns terms. They're a fucking nightmare for small publishers. Bloomsbury, with their boy wizard billions, tried to get a better deal -- but lost. Surprise: the bigger shark won. No need to buy from Amazon when bookshop .org & Hive exist.
