Your orders keep Fresno?s tiniest radical bookstore growing.

Every year, we release a brand-new T-shirt design to raise funds for Judging by the Cover, and right now, your support matters more than ever.

Your purchases have helped us grow from an online-only bookstore to a pop-up and, in less than three years, to a brick-and-mortar bookstore in Fresno. Every shirt you buy directly helps us keep books on our shelves, support local authors and artists, and bring more literary events to our community.

When you buy a JBTC shirt, you?re not just buying merch. You?re helping keep an independent, community-centered bookstore alive.

Buy a shirt. Spread the word. Help us keep the doors open and the shelves full.

We truly couldn?t do this without you. Thank you for supporting independent bookstores and for believing in Judging by the Cover.
