Philadelphia

Open an Online Bookstore in Philadelphia

Philly readers. Indie energy without mall rent.

Philadelphia's university density and independent bookstore culture still leave authors and used sellers renting generic ecommerce tools.

BookStand is free bookstore software: editions, reader delivery, used grades, ship or meetup across the city.
