Hayley Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 We already have threads to post amazon/kindle offers, so I thought it might be nice to have an indie bookshop version. Their books are obviously not going to be as cheap as amazon, but I think they're more likely to have interesting bundles, signed editions etc. This was partly inspired by something I really wanted to share. Bert's Books (which I've ordered from a couple of times now and it's brilliant, if you haven't heard of it) are doing a crowdfunder to open a physical bookshop and some of their rewards for donating are amazing. Some of them are really expensive but they're things like going for a walk with Patrick Gale, getting to name a character in a book (a few authors are doing that one) or getting a handwritten Bronte Mysteries short story by Bella Ellis. There are quite a lot of signed books (and bundles of signed books) but they are still between about £40-£60. But even if you just donate £5, you get 15% off from Bert's Books for the next six months! I've gone for the discount and I really hope they make enough money to open the physical shop (even though it will be too far away for me to visit, the world needs more bookshops!) The crowdfunding page is here if anyone wants to have a look https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/bertsbooks . (I've just realised, when I went to get that link, that they only have 1 day left, so not long to get the rewards!) Another interesting thing I discovered at Christmas, which I can now share here, is that the Big Green Bookshop has signed copies of 'Get Good' by Tyler Blevins. If any of you are into Fortnite streams, he's better known as Ninja. It's one of only two places in the world you can get a signed copy of this book (the other is in New York). My nephew is a huge fan, so I got him the book for Christmas. I don't think any of you are particularly interested in Fornite, but I'm sure you know others who are, so here's the link if you're interested http://www.biggreenbookshop.com/signed-copies/signed-get-good-by-tyler-blevins-aka-ninja-/prod_1009.html .

Brian. Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I’m not sure how I missed this thread previously but I’d like to give a shout out to a local book shop who specialises in rare books and secondhand books. https://eaglebookshop.co.uk/site/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayley Posted September 19, 2021 Author Share Posted September 19, 2021 I'm a bit late with this, I think it will end at midnight tonight, but Fahrenheit (being a Glasgow-based company) are offering 21% off anything in their store this weekend to celebrate the Bloody Scotland crime festival.

Hayley Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Red Dog Press (crime, cosy mysteries and thrillers) are offering 15% off until the 30th November. You'll need to use the code 'CyberMonday'. They say they'll also hand gift-wrap every order and send a gift card. I have my eye on a few from this publisher, but I'd highly recommend The Witch House by Ann Rawson and The Cuckoo Wood by M.
