The importance of independents

It's no secret that large online retailers have been devastating to main-street businesses, and nowhere is that more evident than in the book trade. When you order at Biblio, you are buying from small, independent bookstores and booksellers and supporting these vital community and cultural bastions.

Buying from independents: Tips

Remember, when you buy books on Biblio, you are buying from independent booksellers and not some huge, faceless corporation. Sometimes this distinction can be a little unclear for the first-time visitor, but don't worry - it's a good thing. Here are just a few tips to keep in mind when ordering from booksellers on Biblio:

• Check shipping rates. Since each bookseller sets their own shipping rates, the actual cost of shipping will vary from book to book.
• Order in-country. Biblio hosts booksellers from dozens of countries. If possible, order books from a bookseller in your own country. This will often save you money on shipping and reduce the delivery time.
• Ask the bookseller. Have questions before ordering about an item's edition, points or condition? Use the ask the bookseller link on each item page.
