Thank you

A quick update on our Fighting Fund

THANKS SO MUCH for all the lovely messages and support since I shared on Thursday that our taxes are going up 163%.

Via our Cunning Plan (recap below), we’ve already raised £855 in profit for our Fighting Fund to invest in upgrading our website tech.

If you fancy backing our indie bookshop, and our plan to test the idea that a bricks-and-mortar shop at the heart of a community can also be great online, we are asking for orders not donations. Please use the discount code FIGHTINGFUND to get 5% off any online order before the end of Jan. It’s important that you use the code so we can allocate the profit to our Fighting Fund pot.

Thanks especially to the 24 newsletter readers so far who have ordered from us for the first time. If you enjoy this newsletter and haven’t yet ordered from Backstory, this is the perfect time — we deliver anywhere in the world, and UK delivery is free over £25.

A recap below of why we’re doing this.

Hope you have a relaxing, not taxing, weekend,

Tom x
