Small Suprises

The thing I love most about the Internet is not knowing what you are going to stumble over next. In the course of researching independent publishing I came across a site that has been going for three years and yet I hadn’t heard about, http://www.booksy.co.uk/

The idea of the site is to allow people to review books that are unlikely to be found in mainstream bookshops. Such books may often miss out on sales due to people not wanting to take the risk involved in buying them. A bestseller that makes it onto the shelves at your supermarket seems less of a risk since so many people have also purchased it (though it is far from a guarantee). Booksy therefore provides a way to take some of the risk out of buying unknown books and also helps to promote little known titles.

It is well worth a visit.
