I just remembered it& #39;s Independent Bookstore Day today (yes?). Thinking of celebrating it by ordering T-shirts from indies that I love--here& #39;s what I& #39;ve got so far, but please chime in if your favorite indie offers a T-shirt!
The @PorterSqBooks T shows a bookselling Bear AND it comes in a kid size! https://www.bonfire.com/store/porter-square-books/">https://www.bonfire.com/store/por...
Totally getting one of these "Up Late" tees from @HarvardBooks because it reminds me of walking by there late at night (in the Before) and seeing them loading boxes of books into the secret book-hatch next to Bartley& #39;s: https://www.bonfire.com/store/harvard-book-store/">https://www.bonfire.com/store/har...
When I was in LA I got the 9yo a shirt from @lastbookstorela showing their book arch--he& #39;s almost outgrown it, so maybe I& #39;ll replace it with one of these: https://www.shopthelastbookstore.com/shirts ">https://www.shopthelastbookstore.com/shirts&qu...
I already own a @LiteratiBkstore tee but perhaps you would like one too: https://www.literatibookstore.com/merchandise ">https://www.literatibookstore.com/merchandi...
From now on my wardrobe will be exclusively T-shirts from bookstores, T-shirts from my writing group, and dresses I& #39;ve sewn/sweaters I have knitted myself. I can think of worse things.
Here is @printbookstore& #39;s logo sweatshirt looking quite snazzy on bookseller and co-owner @jchristie: https://www.printbookstore.com/print-four-book-stack-logo-sweatshirt">https://www.printbookstore.com/print-fou...
Obviously while you& #39;re ordering your bookstore apparel, order some books and/or swag if you& #39;re able: #Exclusives">https://www.changinghands.com/indiebookstoreday2020 #Exclusives">https://www.changinghands.com/indiebook...
And, here are some of the Independent Bookstore Day events happening (in the pandemic area, a small silver lining is that you can attend most of them from anywhere!): https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ariannarebolini/how-to-celebrate-independent-bookstore-day-events-deals">https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/a...
These Brooklyn indie bookstore tees are gorgeous! https://www.bonfire.com/bookstore-day-2020-in-brooklyn-shirts/">https://www.bonfire.com/bookstore...
This T looks like a literary in-joke but is an honest-to-goodness shirt from @whitewhalebks in PGH: https://whitewhalebookstore.com/gift-cards-and-merch/white-whale-tee">https://whitewhalebookstore.com/gift-card...
Please send me your other favorite bookstore Ts, the 9yo has only like 4 shirts that fit him and I foresee a whole new wardrobe coming his way
I just said to my husband “I may go slightly off the deep end and order a lot of bookstore T shirts” and he said “okay, I also have room in my T-shirt drawer!” and that, folks, is what you call Being a Supportive Spouse
Okay I am being informed that Independent Bookstore Day was yesterday but since time has lost all meaning in the pandemic, I am choosing to celebrate it today, please continue to add your bookstore T shirt recs to the thread for my fellow latecomers
