Yourbookstore.io

We launched YourBookstore.io at the BookPeople conference this month. This is a website that shows book buyers who has a book. There is an incredible selection, local bookstores on this site have 400,000 + titles on shelves!

We'd love all our customers to be part of this. There are no additional charges. Our aim is to connect local book buyers with local bookshops in a genuine way. We simply direct customers to your shop, where they become your customers and hopefully build long term relationships.

This site gives your customers a local option for harder to find titles and a place to go for people that want to support local but currently shop on big central sites. It enables local bookstores to attract back online book buyers that do so for convenience and work together for mutual benefit.

We hope that you will support and promote it to your customers and in your social media channels. You can also give the following referral link to publishers and authors you deal with to put on their sites next to their titles. Most publishers and authors like to support local so should be happy to do this.
