FAQ: Why did we open The Pansy Shop?
Because Isabella’s books (as well as many other excellent books by other authors of her time period) are all in the public domain. That means they are no longer protected by copyright and are available to be re-published by anyone.
The problem: It’s becoming more and more difficult to distribute public domain books through the big online book selling sites (like Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple iBooks, and Kobo). Some sites won’t accept public domain books at all, while others have implemented requirements for publishing public domain books that are difficult to comply with.
By selling direct to you through The Pansy Shop, we can make classic Christian novels and non-fiction books available to you without having to follow a third-party’s rules and requirements.
And by selling direct to you we can also offer our books for sale at very affordable prices. Big online retailers no longer have a say in what price we charge.
