As the moderator of the SMUSA Book Club, I can confidently say that I prefer to support local bookstores and libraries whenever possible. Sometimes it’s not possible, but I like to have a handy list of local small businesses to support; just in case.
And remember that when buying on bookshop.org, you can choose a local bookstore to support! Here’s a list of independent bookstores with separate online storefronts based roughly on how close they are to campus:
