Shop Online, Support Indie.
Yes, we’re a real-life, brick-and-mortar bookstore (located here), but we know that many of our shoppers are only passing through for vacation, weddings, family visits, or Halloween.
So if you’d like to continue supporting Transom Bookshop from afar, we offer audiobooks, ebooks, home delivery, and gift certificates online. By choosing our affiliate partners instead of Amazon, Audible, Spotify, Google, or Apple, you’re helping local businesses—and local communities—thrive.
eBooks and Ship-to-Home Orders
Our affiliate partner, Bookshop.org, is a not-for-profit online bookstore that has raised more than $40M for indie bookshops. Each purchase made through our affiliate link below earns us 30% of the sale—which not only helps keep the lights on at Transom, but it nearly quadruples the amount of money that flows back to our local economy than if you made the same purchase at Amazon or B&N.
Not sure what to get? Chris updates his reading list on Bookshop (see below) and posts his favorites at the end of each year.
All Ears?
For those who prefer to read with their ears, please consider Libro.fm as an alternative to Amazon’s Audible, Spotify, or Apple. Whenbuying an audiobook or a monthly subscription through our Libro.fm affiliate shop, Transom earns a generous percentage of the purchase, helping us. (And, yes, when you listen to a book we think you’re still allowed to say, “I read that.”)
Gift Certificates
We get it: you want to buy someone a book but you’re not really sure what they’re read, or maybe they’re picky, or maybe you live over there and you want to get them something from back here.
We got you! Transom gift certificates are available in any amount, and can be customized and emailed to you or the recipient—or we conveniently fund a local customer’s in-store account.
