SALIS Affiliations with Online Booksellers

Our affiliation with Amazon.com is back! Amazon settled its dispute with the state of California regarding tax collection on online purchases, and thereby restored the affiliates who were based in California -- including SALIS. We still have affiliations with Barnes & Noble.com and Hazelden. All 3 online sellers allow our non-profit organization to receive a small commission on purchases made online from that retailer -- books, videos, gifts or anything they sell online -- if the shopping originates from a link on the SALIS website. It costs you nothing extra, but you must shop via the links on this website for your purchase to benefit SALIS.

Remember: these offers apply to anything you purchase on the online site -- not just books! And they may be used by your co-workers, friends and family; the more shoppers who use our affiliate links, the more we receive in commissions.
