With the holidays already upon us, I hope you’ll consider giving books as gifts to those in your family and among your friends. And while you’re doing your shopping, please patronize your local bookstores, which make a lot of their annual income during the holiday season. If you still want the convenience of online shopping, check out Bookshop.org, a website that allows you to designate your local independent book seller. Click here to choose your favorite bookstore, which will receive the full profit from any Bookshop.org purchase you make.

To help you find the right book for the right person, here are some categories on Bookshop.org: Bestsellers, Fiction, Nonfiction, Teen/Young Adult,  Kids, and Games/Puzzles.
