WHY BUY AT A INDEPENDENT BOOKSHOP
When you shop in an independent shop, the whole community benefits:
THE ECONOMY
If you spend €100 in an independent shop about €65 remains in your community. Independent shops create jobs in your area and pay taxes in Italy
THE ENVIRONMENT
Buying “local” means less packaging, less transport, less infrastructure, less pollution and therefore benefits for your community..
THE COMMUNITY
The shopkeepers in your area are your friends and neighbors, support them and they will support you. More independent shops give you more choice, variety and freedom.
