A. Z. Fell and Co.

The entire, original handwritten manuscript of Anne of Green Gables is now available to page through online - thanks to a scholar from Duluth, Minnesota. Read all about it in the News Tribune.

You can find the closest one to you, or pick some to support online through bookshop.org (for physical books shipped to your home or ebooks) or libro.fm (audiobooks)! (often there will be bookseller-curated lists on both sites too for recommendations!) (apologizing now because I’ve just realized my work spiel has slipped into this)

In short, there’s a way to support a Black-owned bookstore for any way and for anything you like to read!! Shopping in-store/going to their events is the best way, but the next best thing is using the sites mentioned if you can’t.

I’ll put the link here, let me know if there’s an issue with it: https://www.nab2.org

"Where do I find books written by Black authors?"

"How do I support Black creativity?"

"How can meet other Black people and form community?"
