On Sale Now: Lydia Davis is Taking a Stand Against Amazon

"Many years ago, my eyes were opened to Amazon's unsavory business practices—its poor treatment of employees, its stranglehold on competition, its destruction of small businesses, its violation of the very notion of community. I have not bought books or anything else through Amazon since then. So it seemed completely unreasonable that I was still allowing them to sell my own books, and I vowed that with my next one I would end that. I am delighted that Bookshop Editions will be able to avoid the grasp of the marketplace bully and sell my book in the time-honored way—through independent bookstores that value community and engage in a humane, respectful conversation with readers."
—Lydia Davis
