Are we worried about losing money? No. Like every other bookseller, we should do better in the fourth quarter as the holiday season picks up. We are always improving and our profit margin will improve, too.

Thank you for your continued interest and support.

Truly,

On the year we've generated $1,872.84 in profit on revenue of $74,610.33. That's a 2.5% profit margin, which isn't great, but it is about what the average "brick and mortar" bookstore generates.

We've donated 12% of that revenue, tho, so we're at (-$7,127.60) for the year. 🫤

This year we've also issued $16,883.15 in discounts to customers buying books for their incarcerated pen pals. All orders for incarcerated readers qualify for a 50% discount.

Since 2020, we've donated $52,817.50 to bail funds, jail support and other rad orgs, and sent 9786 books to prison book programs.

“[In] the cell block, the city block, and the classroom, abolition is both a philosophy and a strategy. As a way of thinking, abolition is an uncompromising refusal of the violent order of things. […] All of us or none, the abolitionist insists; this way toward freedom.”

Yes! And we’re doing something for “indie bookstore day” too. All orders for our friendly local books-to-prisoners group are being matched by a generous donor up to $1k! massivebookshop.com/collections/...
