Exclusive Books setting the record straight
07 June 2024 - We can confirm that the book “From the River to the Sea,” a children’s colouring book providing insight into the story of Palestine, is available in some Exclusive Books stores. The book is written by Nathi Ngubane and published by Social Bandit Media.
Exclusive Books is a chain of independent bookstores that facilitates the sale of books. As a company, we do not censor or approve books for sale in our stores. Each store independently selects and stocks the books they wish to sell, as we do not have a central purchasing function.
As each store buys books based on their customers' needs, not all stores carry the book. However, our booksellers can order any book that a customer wishes to purchase.
At Exclusive Books, we carry a wide range of literature, including controversial works, which enables us to be a refuge for freedom of speech and to encourage public discourse essential for furthering discussions on matters of public interest.
We are sensitive to the current global issues transpiring between Israel and Palestine as we believe that we provide a diverse range of perspectives through the literature we offer. Our intention is never to offend anyone.
