In showcasing "9 nonprofit & collective bookstores that every book-lover needs to visit and support," Bustle wrote: "Any book-lover will tell you that independent bookstores are the foundation of our communities. But within the category of independent bookstores, there's another very special category of shops: the nonprofit and collectively-owned bookstores. The profits from their sales usually go towards keeping the shop open and freely available for events or towards a good cause. It's a win/win--you get more books, and you get to give back to your community."
