Designer’s Review of Books Canadian Store?

It’s clear from my Mint server logs that The Designer’s Review of Books has a few visitors from Canada. So I have a question for you – would you like me to set up a Canadian Amazon Store, which would also include the relevant links at the bottom of reviews?

I ask because Amazon’s affiliate system is annoyingly non-international and each country requires setting up a new, separate ID and store, which also need populating with content. So it is not a minor task, though not that huge either.

If there are enough of you saying, “Yes please! We would love to use our clicks to support the DRoB!” then I’ll go ahead an do it.

Let me know in the comments (and if there are any people wanting a Japanese or French store, let me know too).

    Yes please! I would love to use my clicks to support the DRoB! So, there you have it.

    Yes Please!
    I’ve ordered a couple books you have reviewed, and would like to support your cause, but ordering from the Amazon US mighty costly for us Canadians.

    I’ve bought more than a couple books at amazon.ca after reading a review here, so I think it’d be worth your while.

    Yes. B/c it’s true. Amazon’s affiliate system is annoyingly non-international. Thanks for thinking of us up here. :)

    Okay, that’s a yes as far as I’m concerned. I’ll sort that out next week.

    Yes, please!! That would be great.
    If possible, Amazon UK as well? Thanks!

    endash – Amazon UK is already there. See the links at the top of the Store page and also at the bottom of all the reviews where it says “Buy from….”.

    Yes please! That would be fantastic. BTW I know exactly what you mean with internationalization. I’m thinking of ways to discreetly send users to the correct store on my own site.

    Another yes. And thanks!

    Okay folks, there is now a Designer’s Review of Books Canadian Store. Enjoy!

    I’ll try and populate the links at the bottom of the reviews next week when I’m back from New York.
