The fine print, plainly
Affiliate disclosure
How this site is funded
Hmong Bookstore sells nothing directly and holds no inventory. When you follow a buy link from this site to a retailer and make a purchase, the site may earn a commission. This costs you nothing extra — the retailer pays it out of their own margin.
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Links to Bookshop.org are affiliate links as well: purchases made through them may earn this site a commission, and Bookshop.org additionally shares profit with independent bookstores.
Links labeled with a publisher’s name go straight to that publisher and are generally not affiliate links — they exist for titles available nowhere else.
Editorial independence
Commissions never decide what appears in the catalog. Books are chosen and annotated on editorial judgment alone — many titles here have no working retail link at all and are listed anyway, with their ISBN shown for library use. No publisher or retailer pays for placement, and no review text is reproduced from retailer sites.
No prices are shown anywhere on this site. The price you see at the retailer is the only price that exists; nothing here is ever a quote.
Privacy
This site uses Google Analytics 4 to understand what gets read. It collects standard page views plus three anonymous usage events: which outbound retailer links are clicked, what is searched for, and which catalog filters are used. No advertising personalization signals are enabled, there are no accounts, and no personal data is sold or shared. The site works fully with analytics blocked.
Questions about any of this: hmongbookstorecom@gmail.com. More on how the catalog is curated is on the about page.
