Danny Caine, owner of Raven Book Store in Lawrence, Kansas has been an outspoken critic of the seemingly unstoppable Goliath of the bookselling world: Amazon. In this book, he lays out the case for shifting our personal money and civic investment away from global corporate behemoths and to small, local, independent businesses. Well-researched and lively, his tale covers the history of big box stores, the big political drama of delivery, and the perils of warehouse work. He shows how Amazon's ruthless discount strategies mean authors, publishers, and even Amazon themselves can lose money on every book sold. And he spells out a clear path to resistance, in a world where consumers are struggling to get by. In-depth research is interspersed with charming personal anecdotes from bookstore life, making this a readable, fascinating, essential book for the 2020s"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Bezos, Jeffrey $x Criticism and interpretation. 610 20 $a Amazon.com (Firm) 650 0 $a Small business. 650 0 $a Independent bookstores. 650 0 $a Pay equity. 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010031118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=166180C8673311EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
