Email Delivery Advertising
 
Articles are posted to booksandwhatnot.com in a timely manner, and a round-up is delivered to the inboxes of subscribers weekly. Because our focus is specifically booksellers, our list is made up of the people selling books every day, and the people making decisions about bookstore operations. Since our first edition on January 1, 2014, our list has grown to just over 1,100, with over 85% of those being booksellers. If you’re promoting a book, service, or product, our list and format make the best advertising opportunity.
