A bookstore is a cultural oasis. Our valley is blessed to have two brave bookstores fighting to continue to serve us. Chapter One and Iconoclast serve our community in countless ways. But because of online and e-book competitors who have no roots, pay no Idaho sales, income or payroll taxes, employ no locals and give nothing back to our community, our treasured bookstores may not survive.
We urge our neighbors to do their online ordering of new and out-of-print books from Iconoclast (order@iconoclastbooks.com) and Chapter One (cobookstore@qwestoffice.net ).
