Nice! I love local bookshops and anything that supports them over Amazon is great.
I plan on getting “Evicted” and and “Streetfight” based on your recommendations too, thanks for making this site!
booyah glad to hear it! Yep, I started this with Amazon affiliate links but was more proud of it when I switched to Bookshop!
consider using smaller thumbnails for those books (the site uses 8.8MB of bandwidth just to load those book covers)
good point - will change that right now!
Very nice :), I am actually playing with something similar at shepherd.com. Ill test it fully when i wake up!
Nice job, are you doing these all manually on the data side then? I see you take a form, so I was curious there.
Yup just hand making things in Webflow for now. Will probably automate at some point with zapier or something similar.
by supporting indie bookshops, do you mean the “yearly faves” account on bookshop? that is a clever way to get people to buy through your bookshop account, but also whack and misleading
Well, initially I built this with Amazon affiliate links but then realized I'd like it to spread the word about Bookshop.org which supports independent retailers instead!
You should link to the isbn on indiebound if that’s your intent. It gives you a variety of places to buy the book, including a list of the nearest indies.
