Hello BookPerson!
Thank you for your support of Independent Bookstores! Though BookPeople is temporarily closed to the public, we are still taking web orders through bookpeople.com to ship directly to you and now offering curbside pickup. For tips to help you understand what the AVAILABILITY of each book means and how soon to expect your book should you order it now, please visit this page.

Please note: for the safety of booksellers, we currently have the phones turned off. All orders must be processed online and communication associated with each order will take place digitally. You will receive an email (from do-not-reply@indiecommerce.com -- check your spam filter) with next steps once your order is ready.

For the foreseeable future, BookPeople will continue to operate as your friendly, neighborhood, virtual bookseller. The best way to help us get through this time is by ordering ALL THE BOOKS, attending our virtual events, purchasing gift cards, greeting cards, or merch and subscribing to one of our amazing book subscriptions (available for kids and adults!).

Stay tuned to our social media (@BookPeople on Facebook, Twitter and Insta) and sign up for our newsletters for future updates.

Thank you for keeping Austin reading!
Your neighborhood booksellers

How Our Events Work

BookPeople is proud to host over 300 events every year. Our events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise stated.

To get a book signed at one of our events, a copy of the event book must be purchased from BookPeople. By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business, but you are also showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople. Think of it this way: you wouldn't bring your own beer to a bar, would you?

For events where we anticipate large crowds, wristbands may be required in order to join the signing line. Occasionally we may also ticket events. In both cases, information as to when wristbands/tickets are available will be found on that event's specific page on our website.

MORE UPCOMING EVENTS

FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES, ALL IN-STORE EVENTS, STORY TIMES, BOOK CLUBS, AND THIRD PARTY MEETINGS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED THROUGH JUNE 30, 2020.
