Art Toolkit on Bookshop.org

You can now find our book recommendations on Bookshop.org.

By Maria Coryell-Martin

A colorful stack of inspiring books recommended by Art Toolkit.

We’ve enjoyed sharing our love of books over the past few months and hearing your recommendations in return. While we would love to encourage everyone to go out and shop locally instead of ordering from Amazon, we recognize that in-person shopping isn’t the best option for everyone this year.

Fortunately, we’ve found an alternative that enables us to support local bookstores while offering the convenience of online shopping. Starting now, we’ll be sharing books we find inspiring on our own Bookshop.org store. With each order, you can choose to support a specific local bookstore (and they receive the full profit from the order). Otherwise, your order will contribute to an earnings pool that will be evenly distributed among independent bookstores. If you follow one of our links to Bookshop.org, you will also be supporting our business–we receive a small affiliate fee for each purchase.

Have you read anything that inspires you to create? We would love to hear about it! You can let us know on Instagram and Facebook.
