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. 馃摎鈾伙笍

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!

#BookSwap #ReallyReallyFree #CoopsNotCops #FeministBookstore #FirestormCoop (-E)

Collective member Glenda sits on a patio table in front of the mural on the front of our building. They are surrounded by stacks of books that will be part of the book swap. Over their head, text reads, "Fuck Amazon Prime Day Book Swap! Bring a book, take a book. Surveillance capitalism not required. July 9th,  6-7:30pm." Above the text is an illustration of a drone being struck by lightning.

@firestorm I couldn't agree more. Some people use Amazon to find the item they want then search online how to locate it in their area outside of Amazon

@firestorm My psychic hat is at the cleaners. Your image doesn't say where, its alt text doesn't say where, and your post doesn't say where to go.

@GetMisch But the bio for Firestorm Books tells you where it's located, so that's just one click away. No psychic hat required.
