The Booktenders
Welcome to The Booktenders Bookshop.org site!
Bookshop.org was created to directly address the challenge faced by independent bookstores due to the increasing shift to online book buying, dominated by Amazon (over 60% of the US market). They envisioned a socially responsible alternative that empowers readers to shop online conveniently while simultaneously supporting their local bookstores and the vital network of readers, authors, and publishers that depend on them. Bookshop.org is an online ordering platform that ships directly to you, while financially supporting independent bookstores - like us!
The Booktenders physical bookstore is open at 463 U.S. Route 1 in York, Maine. We are a community-minded space with a little something for everyone -and we stock a variety of genres - including children's and middle grade books, young adult, romance, fantasy and horror. We also offer The Booktenders gift cards, which are separate from Bookshop.org gift cards. Gift cards from The Booktenders bookstore are valid for use in-store or at thebooktenders.com. Please note that Bookshop.org gift cards are only valid on the Bookshop.org website.
Use Bookshop.org (instead of Amazon) for your online book shopping and eBook needs! You'll be supporting your favorite indie bookstore, instead of union-busting billionaires!
Thanks so much for supporting us and shopping indie!
