Black Friday, hold the capitalism! 🙅

This year we're bringing back our Black Friday Book Swap, a chill, community-based alternative to the consumer chaos of retail's busiest weekend. Bring books you loved but are willing to part with, and take home something new! There's no limit on the number of books you can bring or take, just be considerate. You're also welcome to hang out and read, but dress warmly since the swap will be taking place on our patio!

Can I join if I don't have any books to bring?
Yes! No worries if you don't have any books you want to bring this time. Firestorm staff will also contribute from our collective's personal beloved book stacks.

Where is the book swap happening?
Come to Firestorm's patio where there will be cute tents and also ✨ free ✨ hot apple cider! Beware, books inside the bookstore are NOT part of the swap and sadly still subject to Commerce. But the point is, you DON'T have to spend money at the book swap!

Last year, Amazon wracked up $14.2 billion over a two-day period with their Prime Day sale. Amazon Prime "Day" 2025 will be a four-day event, no doubt still hoping to break their record of how much sweat-shop garbage they can peddle to an increasingly incredulous consumer base. Jeff Bezos, who recently spent an estimated $20 million on his lavish Venetian wedding, doesn't need your money. Resist temptation and scratch your shopping itch by giving a new home to a pre-loved book instead!

Firestorm Books is hosting a book swap on July 9th at our shop in Asheville, NC. 📚♻️

No limit on the number of books you can bring or take, just be considerate of what you bring (don't bring what you think is "trash") or take (don't take aaaaalll the good books)! You're welcome to hang out and read while you sip a complimentary mocktail.

And yes, you can still participate even if you don't have books to contribute!
