Why Buy Direct

The Wilde Bookshop

Did you ever dream of owning a bookstore?

I did. A Victorian house, little rooms for each genre, cozy chairs to curl up in. I'd sit at the counter with my tea while my cat lounged in a pool of sunlight.

I couldn't afford the house — so the dream went virtual. And the part my younger self never dared imagine? This shop is stocked with stories that I created.

And the paperbacks?

On offer too. There's something about the weight of a book in your hands, the crack of the spine, the smell of ink and paper. Since I can't match Amazon's shipping, I've made my paperback prices lower than other retailers — and I carry signed editions exclusive to Deborah Wilde Books.

When you shop direct

I don't give up 30% of my royalties to a big corporation, and I get paid in hours or days rather than months — which helps me create more books. Thank you, friend.
