Dispatch from the Occupy Amazon Camp

We're so grateful for all the support we've recieved in our local and online communities. Here's the update:

  • The buttons and coasters are going like gangbusters--if you'd like to order some for your store contact Louise Marler at www.LAMARLER.com
  • Check out this BrowBeat post about the backlash against Farhad Manjoo's pro-Amazon Slate article. (The article prompted Salman Rushdie to tweet: “Book lovers are ‘cultists’? Maybe, but this man is a moron.”)
  • Get in on Colleen Linday's #bkstorelv on Twitter and let your favorite indie bookstores know how much you care
  • Bookselling This Week did a great round-up of bookseller, author, and media reacitions to Amazon's price-check app
  • If you don't have time to read the whole round-up, be sure to read Richard Russo's New York Times op-ed piece Amazon's Jungle Logic
