Because of the Amazon/Booksurge ultimatum, I have elected to boycott Amazon. Here are some great places where you can order books online and live an Amazon-free life just like me:
Third Place Books
Elliott Bay Book Company (also a great site for book browsing)
Powell's
I know that there are tons of other private bookstores in the country that warrant our business, have userfriendly web sites and will ship books anywhere. These are the ones I know and have used. I am pleased by the thought that Amazon may just be the force that prompts us to return to the small, private booksellers. I know, I'm a daydreamer. Nice thought, though, huh?

About Me
- nancorbett
- I have always written. I wrote my first short story when I was seven years old, and I've just never stopped. I've done many things for a living, and I believe that each experience I've had along the way has only served to enhance my ability to write. I've had a few short stories and personal essays published. I've written a YA novel, for which I am seeking a home. I am also working on my second YA novel.

Local bookstores are the only way to go...if you've got one handy. These big chains are--in my humble opinion--sucking the life out of the publishing industry.
