minus-square𝚝𝚛𝚔linkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·4 months agoI used to buy books from Booktopia a lot, because reading text on LCD / LED screens is horrible.

You need to have the physical books out on displayso kids can look at them and grab them. I’d try go independent either book stores or toy shops first but Booktopia would be the next place to look after that for kids books
