Book Bound Policy Change:
Starting September 1st, Book Bound will no longer accept books on consignment for authors who have not scheduled an event with us in 2025. I will make final payouts for the books on the shelf after sales reports are in the last day of September. I want to support local/regional authors, but the money, time & frustrations of handling a large number of self-published books have become a strain on the business as it relates to staff time, tracking, and payouts. I will be wiping out the current list and starting over in January.
What I will do for local authors? I will still be happy to host author events for signing and sales. I will be hosting one local author a month from January-October. After the signing, I will carry the books for 3 months. If the books have had no sales between book signing day and the 3 month period, books will be returned to the author.
How can I be considered for a book signing at Book Bound Bookstore in the future? All authors must complete an application process. You can access our Local Author Application through our store website after October 1st. ( bookboundbooks.com)
If your books are available through Ingram, or if I’m able to order them directly from your publisher, then more consideration will be given for placement on the shelves.
Books must be returnable and carry a reasonable discount for the store. However, if the only way to purchase is through Amazon, then I am unable to carry it in the store.
If you currently have books on our shelves, please pick up no later than October 30th. Any remaining books will be pulled and held for another month, after which time they will be donated to a local thrift store. If you have any questions, please email me at bookboundbookstore@gmail.com.
Thank you for understanding,
Sharon Davis
Owner, Book Bound Bookstore
