Tower Records Adds New Online Bookstore

By Digital Trends Staff March 30, 2006

Music and entertainment retailer Tower Records yesterday announced they were launching a new online bookstore at their e-commerce Web site as part of a continued corporate wide growth spurt. Comprised of more than half a million titles, Tower.com now offers a large selection of fiction, audio-books, romance, history, music, children’s, art, business, health, reference, horror, sci-fi and other genres.

The new online bookstore, said Tower Records, features an introductory bonus offer that gives book buyers up to $50 back to spend on future purchases. Tower, in an attempt to make the service competitive with the likes of Amazon.com, will also be offering competitive prices on books and shipping.

“The launch of Books at Tower.com is a huge benefit to our website and our customers,” stated Russ Eisenman, Senior Marketing Officer of Tower Records, in a statement. “Tower Records stores have always carried a selection of relevant book titles. Our online store features a selection rivaling other large online booksellers. This is a very exciting launch for us and another positive step for Tower as we strive to deliver the best shopping experience for our valued customers.”

How to buy groceries online: Tips for shopping in quarantine

Amazon Go Grocery Store

Grocery shoppers are facing the same story all across the country: no delivery or pickup windows are available on popular services like Instacart, Amazon Prime Fresh, Target, or Walmart Grocery. Thanks to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak and social distancing, people don't want to have to go to the grocery store and risk infection. As a result, delivery and pickup windows are booked up days, or even weeks in advance.

The huge demand for grocery delivery and pickup is causing a cascade of other problems: At the end of March, Instacart, Whole Foods, and Amazon all had workers walk off the job or call in sick, demanding better working conditions. They wanted access to protective gear, like gloves and masks, as well as hazard pay for spending much of their shifts in contact with others.
