For quite some time I’ve had links from book reviews and such like to Amazon, and in nearly ten years of blogging I’ve made the grand total of £12 (rather scuppering my plans to build a huge media empire).
Given that (however useful it might be) Amazon is not generally a friend of authors, small businesses, workers or taxpayers. I’ve now signed up with Bookshop.org (UK only orders at the moment) which pays (me) a 10% commission on every sale, and gives a matching 10% to independent bookshops. There’s more about them here.
Visit the pages I’ve set up here to see my current list of recommended titles. Not all of the ones reviewed on the site are available through Bookshop.org so I’ll have to keep including some Amazon links for a while yet.
