Who is Bookshop.org

Bookshop.org is an online bookstore that launched in 2020 as an alternative to Amazon, specifically designed to support independent bookstores.

An Alternative to Amazon for Polyamory Books

We’ve been wanting to bring you other ways to find books on non-monogamy, besides just the monopoly in the book world that we all know as Amazon. When you want it delivered ASAP we know that’s where you are going to go, but when you want to feel a little better about your purchase, here are a few of the reasons why we wanted to partner with Bookshop.org. 

Shop Local

Local bookstores can create their own virtual shopfronts on the platform, and when you buy, you are buying from your local bookstore around the corner. When you buy through a specific store's page, that store gets the full profit. 

Ethical Business Model

Bookshop.org is a certified “B-Corp” company, meaning they are still a for-profit business, but are also committed to serving a public benefit, and not just making a quick buck. Their mission is to preserve literary culture and community bookstores by sending your dollars directly into supporting local businesses. 

Wide Selection + Fast Shipping

While they might not be quite as competitive on pricing, they offer a wide selection of books, super fast shipping, and a very user-friendly website. They have already generated millions of dollars for independent bookstores, helping them compete in the digital marketplace, and providing a solid alternative to our large corporate overlords.

Non-monogamy Book Lists

All of our favorite books on consensual non-monogamy are available from Bookshop.org. You can visit our page to check out the lists. When you’re looking for books about polyamory or consensual non monogamy, the main reason to choose Bookshop.org is if you want to support independent bookstores while still enjoying the convenience of online shopping.
