With technology giving us new ways to print, publish, and promote books, there are more authors who choose to sell books individually or through small local presses. This is a great bonus to local communities, as more of our neighbors print their stories or delve into local history. But sadly, the reality is that these books are hard to find on the web because the large wholesalers who provide web databases for bookstores do not include them in their inventory. Good news! Here at Village Books, we carry many of these local, independent, and small press books (Whatcom County is a hotbed of independent thinkers, writers, poets, and dreamers). Although not all books are listed in the web, all our books at Village Books are listed in our in-house inventory database (new and used), and we are always happy to look up a book or author you might find of interest. Give us a call! Come on down! We love to promote our local authors.
