Oh, no, say it ain't so!
But there is an alternative before you try the website that got its start selling books and now has downgraded books in its priority list (below floor sealant!)
Thank you for your support!
For those of you not interested in ordering from that largest river in South America that rivals the Mississippi and the Nile, but BoF is out of stock at the warehouse, try our new affiliate, Bookshop.org, started by a Columbia University MFA who just wants to help the Indies out a bit while being able to put a meal on the table for himself and others.

We have Gift Cards. Get one to fit every reader's tastes., except the purchase of e-books online.
You can still buy titles in other formats (hardcover, paperback, audio CDs) with a Books on First gift card as well as buy a Books on First giftcard which we will send especially to that lucky recipient (free postage!).
AND AS ABANDONED OUR INDIE eBOOK PARTNERSHIP A LONG TIME AGO, WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A NEW AFFILIATION WITH Hummingbird!

More than a card.
More value than many other store-bought surprises (except a book!)
Put a 3D paper sculpture in a loved one's hands and see the spontaneous delight.
That's a lovepop.
We are always delighted when someone sees a movie in the book, because now, millions of more people know about the book! It might have been a great film or it might have been a total dud.
But, read the book yourself to see just how good or different the original is!
When is a Search not a Search?
When it's a Find!
Serendity is the word of the day.
Seek (a book by topic) and ye shall find!
