Direct ordering for bookstores just got even easier

Hey, this is a fun little piece of news, but it’s going to be most useful and interesting to our industry pals and bookselling buddies, so feel free to keep scrolling if that doesn’t feel like it applies to you! The good news for everyone, though, is that this should make it even easier to find Microcosm titles on your local bookstore’s shelves—and easier to order them if you don’t see what you’re looking for. Thanks to everyone on both sides of the bookstore counter keeping this radical publisher afloat in wild times!

In our continuing mission to shore up the independent book world ecosystem, Microcosm Publishing’s in-house and distributed titles are now available on PubStock! PubStock is a Bookmanager tool that allows U.S. bookstores to get a live look at our available inventory—bookstores that use Bookmanager for their website/inventory/point of sale can now browse and purchase Microcosm titles with even greater ease, without having to look through our site and without running into availability issues. Our stock counts are updated daily, so our indie bookselling friends get a clearer picture than ever of what titles we have available, and how many.

Even better for the folks linked up with Batch, since we’re there, too! Ordering, receiving, and record-keeping just got way easier, building Microcosm’s inventory into the tools booksellers have at hand.

Love you, indie bookstores. Thanks for keeping it real! And as always, we’d love to hear from you about what we can do better to keep us all working, organizing, and thriving together.
