Catholic Social Teaching (by way of the principle of Subsidiarity) encourages us to buy local. In that spirit, Idylls Press encourages our readers to support their local independent bookstores by ordering our books through them.

There are two ways to do this. Online, you can order books from local indie stores affiliated with the American Booksellers Association mBooksense Program. Or, if your favorite (especially Catholic) bookstore isn’t affiliated with the Booksense program, as many aren’t, you can ask them to order our books through the wholesalers Ingram or Baker & Taylor. (For that, you’ll need the 13-digit ISBN number listed below with the books).

And by the way, these are also a great ways to introduce your local booksellers to the best in new and classic Catholic literature published by Idylls Press!

To order onlline through the BookSense program, click on the link for your preferred (paperback or hardcover) edition, then enter your zip code to find the Booksense-affiliated bookstore closest to you.:
