In 2023, the IAPC acquired five small brick and mortar stores called The Itty Bitty Book Nook. Then in 2024, we expanded to include a sixth store. 

While we do sell some traditionally published titles to increase recognition, the majority of the books we sell are from small publishers and indie authors that print, ship and warehouse with us - in fact, the main reason we purchased these stores was to provide an extra bonus to the author clients who trust us to print their books, and help them sell. 

All of our clients that print, ship and warehouse with us will have their books on the shelves at one or more of our stores at some point during the year, earning 50% of their cover price for every sale. We'll continue to test them in different stores at different points in time to find the optimal mix to help maximize sales. 

Will you be able to retire on the revenue you earn from our stores? No, of course not. But you can potentially make some additional money, and it may be your first foray into retail stores.
