Your local bookshop first — a book in your hand beats one in transit, and we earn nothing when you buy that way. Then Bookshop.org, which sells online and passes a share of its profits to independent shops. Then Amazon, the only one of the two stocking four of these thirteen. We earn a commission on both of those links; neither is charity. Same book either way.
