three six five by Lucy Ives is “sold out,” but maybe…Here's a list of indie bookstores that have had copies this summer

features, 06/19/26

three six five spied in the window at Spoonbill & Sugartown in Brooklyn! As of June 12, they had five or six copies—down from dozens!

[Updated: July 26, 2026]

The first edition is sold out. The second printing is almost here and now available for preorder from siglio. You can also order it directly from your favorite local indie bookshop. (You’ll get it about the same time—maybe sooner even if you go to your local store to pick it up. Just don’t order it from Amazon, please).

If you must have it NOW, either get yourself to the CPW Photobook & Zine Fair in Kingston on August 8-9, or call/email any of the (supremely excellent!) indie bookshops who might have a copy left! There’s an asterisk for any who reported (back in June) having three or more copies (but that has very likely changed by now). We’ve tried to update the list, but most (almost all? all?) of these stores may have already run out—as have so many report having not a single copy left (see our complete list of our favorite bookshops here).

California: City Lights,* SFMoMA,* and Green Apple Books on the Park, in San Francisco, and La Librarie in Los Angeles

Massachusetts: Unnameable Books in Turners Falls

New York: Afterword, 192 Books , and two McNally Jackson stores (Rockefeller and Seaport) in Manhattan and Spoonbill & Sugartown* in Brooklyn

North Carolina: Malaprop’s in Asheville, NC

Texas: Alienated Majesty in Austin, Basket Books & Art in Houston, and Bird’s Bookstore in Dallas

Washington: Elliot Bay Books* in Seattle

If your search turns up nothing (or you feel like you could wait), go to your favorite local indie bookseller and special order it!  Or, the next best thing: go to bookshop.org but make sure you select your favorite bookstore so that they see revenue from that sale.

(Please, please, I beg you, do not order from Amazon. At some point, I will write a likely expletive and detail-rich rant about why small presses like siglio and independent booksellers who champion small presses (and their books) will evaporate if everyone buys from Amazon—because Amazon creates a profoundly inhospitable ecosystem for either to thrive; because they do not value “the book” as anything more than a commodity; because they have consciously built a monopolistic empire to debilitate not just distribution, but production, too, that degrades editorial as well; because… Oh, right, you see now? I’ll get back to this another time…)

✼ natalie’s upstate weather report:

Weather? Nothing to report for the entirety of 2025 because there wasn’t a moment to look up much less look out. (Look out!) Whatever the weather was, everything’s been burning: the world is on fire. There was some comfort in spending time in the company of the brave and bravely imaginative resistance fighter-artist-writer Claude Cahun; and some hope stirs crossing through some of Lucy’s 365 portals to see that there are other ways to envision and make a world. That’s not nothing. But really, not quite enough.
