Birchbark Books Competitors

We believe that bookstores are essential to a healthy culture. They’re where authors can connect with readers, where we discover new writers, where children get hooked on the thrill of reading that can last a lifetime. They’re also anchors for our downtowns and communities. By design, we give away over 80% of our profit margin to stores and affiliates of stores: publications, authors and others who make up the thriving, inspirational culture around books! As more and more people buy their books online, we wanted to create an easy, convenient way for you to get your books and support bookstores at the same time. Bookshop is a benefit corporation - a corporation dedicated to the public good.
