The Progressive Global Commons has initiated a dynamic Policy of support for all progressive Independent Bookstores (Infoshops). The Commons wishes to show respect and support for the many ways that local progressive Independent Bookstores aid our mutual community.
Commons Independent Bookstore Policy elements:
The Commons will not sell any traditional bound printed booksthrough the Commons website or on the Commons Market (our retail website) unless we are the books Publisher.
The Commons website will provide a dynamic Global Directory of progressive Independent Bookstores.
A special Brick Wall in the Library section of the Commons website will on a random rotating basis advertise the progressive Independent Bookstores in the Commons Global Bookstore Directory.
The Commons will sell ebooks through this website and the Commons Market in conjunction with eBook Commons (ebookcommons.org) a subsidiary of the Progressive Global Commons.
All ebook customers will be required to pick a local progressive Independent Bookstore from our Commons Global Bookstore Directory at the time of purchase.
The Independent Bookstore, picked by the purchaser in this way, will receive 80% of the net income derived from the ebook sale.

Today we are left with a fraction of the bookshops that once flourished, with both small independents and corporate chains struggling to stay afloat. Radical booksellers have suffered the same fate as the mainstream shops, and many fine and wonderful shops have closed their doors.
However all is not lost, and there are still some wonderful bookshops out there, working hard to keep progressive books on our highstreets.
