People often tell us how pleased they were to have discovered our site because it spotlights important books they wouldn't have known about otherwise. As fellow book lovers, we've put together this page of links to other sites where we enjoy browsing for books.


BookSense Find books at your wonderful nearby independent bookstore! The BookSense program helps local stores to compete with the big chains and on-line stores. Independent booksellers are wonderful people who have a lot in common with independent publishers. We usually start our searches for books at local stores. BookSense allows us to do it on line.

Book Clearing House Book Clearing House is the pre-eminent fulfillment house for small-press books. Upper Access ran a fulfillment service for ten years, then decided to drop it because it was detracting from what we wanted to do—publishing. We were thrilled when BCH agreed to take over that part of our business. They're the best. We go back to look at this site again every few weeks, and every time we find a few more books that we want to read.

In Association with Amazon.com Amazon, of course, is no longer just a bookstore. We recently needed an outdoor water faucet shaped like a frog, and Amazon was the only place we could find one. If you shop at Amazon and would like to do us a favor, go there by clicking on our link, as that way they'll give us credit for helping to send some business their way. Although it is a huge company, Amazon has generally been helpful to the small-press movment because of its efforts to make available every book in print.

Barnes and Noble also carries quite a few small-press titles, particularly on its Web site.
