Global Book Town in Stationery Business Directory

 

History of Global Book Town: Global Book Town was created as a cooperative project in late 2002. Its founders were a small group of like-minded booksellers with on-line stores. Some continue to function as a volunteer steering committee, guiding the growth of Global Book Town. We offer a directory of independent on-line bookstores that share our original vision. And weve grown! This growth has been exciting. We started with a handful of sites. At present writing, we number over 70. We made a strategic decision in August 2004 to limit our expansion so that we could concentrate on improving our website, Commitment to Customer Service, Anyone who has much experience in the world of the independent internet bookstore knows that purchasing on the internet can be a gamble. Therefore, one of the strict criteria we set for stores listed on Global Book Town is a firm commitment to customer service. We want shoppers to know that Global Book Town is a community of dedicated small businesspeople who are professionals in the field of selling used books. Unlike some sites with tens of thousands of sellers advertising their books, Global Book Town has selected booksellers we believe you can trust. The website is managed by Cats Cradle Books in High Point, North Carolina, a Global Book Town founder. Other founders still active in the project are located in Texas, Tennessee, Washington, and British Columbia, Canada. Chrislands graciously hosts Global Book Town.
