An idea: how about a card to a loved one saying “A month from now, I’m going to buy you a present from http://AvidBookshop.com . Stay tuned!” And then you can put your feet up and wait to shop with us during the January-February-March doldrums, when we need that 1/x
cash (and when we will be caught up on orders and well rested, able to serve you better and faster)? Delivery systems are so mucked up right now and Xmas delivery is not guaranteed. We are so grateful for the support, but might you consider pledging to spend money with us in 2/x

your life. We have mastered the art of managing a wildly busy shop floor that’s bustling with tons of browsers. We are good at our jobs. And this year, our jobs got turned upside-down. We know this happened for everyone, this disorienting flip. But we went from being a place 5/x
that relied on human-to-human connection IRL to an online bookstore. We’ve gotten creative. You’ve been supportive. But, as deftly as we handle online orders, it’s impossible to catch up right now. We’re currently about five days behind on processing and ALL of us are working 6/x
