We love bookshops and would love to have our paperbacks in your bookshop. We know how important it is for readers to walk between the aisles, hold books in their hands and talk to booksellers who know and love the books they’re selling.
Bookshops around the world can order our paperbacks from IngramSpark/Lightning Source. You can also order direct from the Ligature Bookshop if you’d like to contact us at sales@ligatu.re for a discount code.
Australian bookshops are also invited to apply for a trade account.
