This is the ebook subscription but they offer great physical ones too -- I wish I could get those!

Then there's @versobooks.bsky.social, which completely *filled* my virtual library because they send each book they publish each month when you sign up for a $10 ebook subscription.

Dangerously, I've also discovered that small presses have book clubs!

@haymarketbooks.org has a $10 monthly subscription for every new Haymarket title released *and* 50% off all other titles.

I got "Can't Pay Won't Pay" from @debtcollective.bsky.social for free today, and a couple others 🥳

I've also loved @plutopress.bsky.social for quite some time (maybe because they approached me to propose a book once, but I hadn't been radicalized enough by then 😉)

They often have excellent deals, like 40% off for Black History Month.

I'm waiting for this to go on sale!

First, check the publisher. It's likely the same price or cheaper. You'll support independent, or nonprofit, or cooperative ventures.

@milkweededitions.bsky.social is an excellent example. I found a collection of essays connecting relating to the earth to building community.

Thus far, one whole Substack post, one video created. Success!
