Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: March 2026

Bookshelves participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you purchase a book through a link on this site — at no extra cost to you.

How It Works

When you click a "Buy" link and complete a purchase, the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale. The price you pay is identical to what you'd pay going directly to the retailer.

Our Affiliate Partners

We currently link to:

• Bookshop.org — our recommended default, as purchases support independent bookstores
• Amazon — via the Amazon Associates Program
• IndieBound — supporting local independent booksellers

Our Commitment

Affiliate relationships do not influence which books appear on a shelf or how they are described. Curation is based entirely on documented evidence of what each person read. See our About page for details on how we curate.

We recommend Bookshop.org as the primary option wherever possible.

Transparency

Any link marked "Buy" on this site may be an affiliate link. This disclosure is intended to comply with FTC guidelines requiring transparency about affiliate relationships.
