Collection: Read Local, buy Local, support Local── Featured offers from local publishing

In Macau, it has become very difficult to promote reading, let alone encourage everyone to read books by local authors, buy local publications, and appreciate local picture books. Therefore, we have specially selected a series of excellent local works for our readers and encourage them to purchase them at special prices of 95 to 20% off.

These books are created and published by outstanding local writers and publishers, covering different genres such as history, literature, poetry collections, photography and picture books. Their rich diversity and locality are more likely to resonate with readers. By making them more popular at affordable prices, and by purchasing these books, we can support local creators and publishing industries, and make a small contribution to the development of local arts and culture.

During the period of the epidemic, the Dutch independent bookstore Enter Enter launched a global initiative: Read Books / Buy Books / Buy Local (read books, buy books, buy local). This initiative not only emphasizes the importance of reading, but also calls for supporting small local bookstores to combat online sales, cultural hegemony and consumer sentiment affected by the epidemic. At the same time, they also launched related products and freely printed slogan posters. The theme of this book selection was inspired by this initiative.

After the epidemic has passed, Macau seems to have returned to normal, but the economy has not improved. The influx of tourists every holiday season also leads to an increase in local rents. The migration of local consumption overseas and the government's encouragement of people to put "entertainment first" are directly challenging the survival of bookstores. When we want to read, we should give priority to local bookstores and works by local authors, so that we can take a greater step toward perpetuating local culture.
