As a book publisher, Andy Hunter knows that independent bookstores are a vital part of local communities across the country. He also knows that they’re struggling to survive.
Which is why, at the end of January, he launched Bookshop.org, an online bookstore and affiliate network that helps independent stores without robust ecommerce offerings of their own.
His goal? Take book business back from Amazon.
