Supporting Local Bookstores

Andy emphasizes the importance of supporting local bookstores as a core mission, highlighting that customers prefer to keep their money within their communities rather than funding giants like Amazon. The model allows bookstores to retain full profits from their direct sales, while also providing a fair distribution of profits when sales occur through affiliates. This approach not only strengthens local businesses but also fosters a sense of community connection.
