Just amazing customer service from 'Our Book Shop' in Tring, Herts.
Needed to get a present for a relative in Tring, phoned and ordered the book and asked about delivery. "I'll drop it in on my way home" was the reply.
Wonderful independent bookshop, exceptional service. Many thanks.

Stopped by my local indie book store today, @prismaticpages, and it reminded me to SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT BOOK STORE 🌈 📚

My friend in #Asheville, NC sent me a photo of my book at Firestorm Books. Happy to see #JamesSpooner’s book, High Desert, right below. It’s a comic about growing up a #biracial #punk in Southern California.

At the zine event I just did, people in the audience had heard of the #AfroPunk festival but never heard of the DIY #documentary that it was named for. Spooner drove around the country back in the early 2000s interviewing #BlackPunk rockers who, at the time, were racially isolated in their respective scenes. This movie changed the entire landscape for everyone but especially Black kids in the punk scene, giving a voice to our various experiences. You can find the video online for free, I believe.

Independent book store @prismaticpages published an end of year round up of their finances. 💸

TLDR: Support your local book store 📚

"It's pretty clear where the money comes from - we mostly sell books, both used and new, and a few other items like notebooks, stickers, totes, etc. But where does the money go?"
