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. 610 20 $a Amazon.com (Firm) 600 10 $a Bezos, Jeffrey. 650 0 $a Small business. 650 0 $a Independent bookstores. 650 0 $a Pay equity. 941 $a 4 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111011959.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909065102.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20220709010450.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20220217011217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7578535E8FBF11ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
