Support Local Bookshops and The Reading Agency

The Reading Agency loves books, in every form, and we know you do too. We love it when people borrow books in every format from their brilliant local libraries. We love it when reading groups get exclusive free proofs from our publisher partners. We love it when readers pick up a pre-loved book from a second-hand bookshop for a song. And we love it when you buy yourself or someone else a brand new book from a high street bookshop or an ethical online site. We also know that buying online is quick and convenient for our busy lives.

We’re proud to recommend two online book retailers; Hive and Bookshop.org. With every sale made through the links on our website, both will donate money to us and to independent bookshops at no additional cost to you.

Hive

Hive sells books, eBooks, DVDs, CD and gifts. After your place your order, you choose a bookshop and a percentage of your money will be given to them. Hive is connected to hundreds of independent bookshops across the UK and you can choose any one you like to support. Start shopping on Hive.

Bookshop.org

Bookshop.org is an online bookshop with a mission to financially support local, independent bookshops. You can search for The Reading Agency shop page to see our current recommendations, or buy any book you like. As long as you see ‘The Reading Agency’ in the top left corner, a contribution from your purchase will go both to us and independent bookshops at no additional cost to you. Shop now on Bookshop.org.

Happy shopping!
