List of independent bookstores and dell & #8217; used updated 26 February 2024

Why buy in small independent bookstores and buy books by small publishers? It might seem a habit, on the other hand is a very important gesture.
We report what is written by the Atlantis Library of Castel San Pietro (BO), on its website (https://buoneletture.wordpress.com/about/) :

Because it is convenient to shop in a small independent bookstore, in an independent economic activity?
When you buy in a small independent bookstore, or any other small company in your country, the whole community benefits from it in many ways:

1. Economically
   • Atlantis is a regular taxpayer of the Italian state: part of the money spent locally is circulating in the community, Thanks to additional local taxes and. We also didn't seat in Luxembourg and other tax havens, in those cases the money is taken to you (Italian citizen) and guarded the border; ( see here HTTPS://buoneletture.wordpress.com/2014/02/22/amazon-e-le-imposte/)
     Besides, you will have to pay more taxes to compensate for the failure to take your State, they must still meet the part evaded. Will you earn with discounts, then we increase the taxation. Figo! (not to mention the treatment of workers, in certain companies (see the volume En Amazonia, Jean Baptiste Malet, Kogoi editions, or the now famous BBC documentary built inside a giant warehouses, THE TRUTH BEHIND THE CLICK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQATFbLvIHk
   • Small businesses operate from a more far-sighted perspective than that of large groups,forced to provide instant high profits to its shareholders, whatever the cost, without too many ethical problems (with results before the eyes of all, These days ... unless you love the paradox posed by Too-big-to-fail)
2. The environment
   • Buying local means less packaging, less transport, less traffic and pollution
   • Shopping in a historic center rather than in a shopping center means less infrastructure to be built in the open countryside, lower costs for their maintenance, more money available for your community
3. The community
   • The shopkeeper of a small company is your friend and neighbor, SA advise and give you attention as a person, before that as a customer. Many times knows you and your children for many years, and vice versa!
   • The small realities of your country help to support the activities of schools and charitable organizations, pouring to charity far more chains, in proportion.
   • Historic centers have existed for centuries, the squares have always been at the heart of the community, the place to meet people and create new ideas. If the old towns are emptying, degradation, social and cultural, advances.
   • Smaller libraries, more independent publishers . Simple equation to help create a diverse cultural offer, value also supported by the European Community.
   • Smaller realities mean more choice, more cultural diversity, the ability to create in each country a community like no other, not standardized and approved.
