The YPD Bookshop now the York Bookshop
Save 35% immediately - The York Book Shop is commission free!
The vital link in the chain from your book to the market.
Many bookshops, particularly major bookshop chains, are reluctant to deal with small and independent publishers. They also expect huge discounts! The minimum discount required is 35%, with Amazon taking a whopping 60%!
York Bookshop specialises in selling books directly from independent authors and small publishers. We display your book in our online bookshop, from where they can be ordered securely from anywhere in the world. You can also link the ‘buy buttons’ on your own website directly to our secure York Book Shop shopping cart.
We take care of the postage, packaging, credit card fees, stock control, payment processing and sales reporting.
