So in other words, if I want to find a place that is socialistic, communism-promoting, non-tolerant of open discussion, racist, revisionist, non-inclusive, such as Teaching For Change’s Busboys and Poets Bookstore …..I should go to one of those stores. Right.

What a find! Thank you.

I would add Kepler’s Books to your list. This is an independent bookstore founded by Roy Kepler in Palo Alto, Ca. Together with Moe’s Books in Berkeley and City Lights in San Francisco these three bookstores were pioneers in selling paperback books. Roy Kepler was a pacifist. His son currently operates the bookstore that has grown over the years. A few years ago Kepler’s was in danger of closing its doors, in response, the community rallied behind them and now Kepler’s prospers once again. I have shopped there since my highschool days in the late 1950’s.

Most of this is still in the mindset that we need a middle layer of "store" between us and authors. As a distribution channel, filesharing has an admirably low carbon footprint, I can't help but notice. There are publishers who are quite happy to sell directly and reward you for doing so. Amazon and Apple will do everything they can to prevent this (sorry, Kindle/iPad owners, your device will be left out of the future of publishing) but change is coming, and it will benefit authors and readers both. What noble cause you divert the leftover money to is up to you. Here's one example: Baen publishes pulpy SF novels, and in a uncommon display of insight into how the Internet works, gives away most of back catalog for free to noncommercial use. Happy reading! http://www.baen.com/library/
