If you want to experience a win-win-win situation this spring, consider buying a book for someone in prison during BTP’s Independent Bookstore Day promotion, April 21-May 5. BTP is partnering with a handful of local independent bookstores and a family foundation to bring hundreds of much-needed new books to our readers.


How it works: Our bookstore partners will have a BTP-specific table at their physical store, or an online wishlist. If you visit one of our bookstore partners from April 21-May 5 and buy a book for BTP from the table or wishlist, a family foundation will match the value of your purchase. No limit; buy as many as you want.


Our partners:


Couth Buzzard:  In-store table at: 8310 Greenwood Ave N, Seattle, WA 98103


Left Bank Books: In-store table at: 92 Pike St, Seattle, WA 98101


Outsider Comics & Geek Boutique:   In-store table at: 223 N. 36th St, Seattle WA 9810 Online wishlist: https://shop.outsidercomics.com/products/donate-a-book-to-books-to-prisoners-seattle


Phinney Books: In-store at: 7405 Greenwood Ave. N, Seattle, WA 98103


Queen Anne Book Company: Table at: 1811 Queen Anne Ave N, Seattle WA 98109

Win: Incarcerated people get access to a ton of new books through BTP.
