We launched something very very cool today. Shockingly, online bookstores did not have buttons like these for use — not even kindle or nook. (I know, right?!) Eloisa James if the first of our authors to launch our new order structures (this is only phase one — more to come!). As soon as we started designing these for Eloisa, Julia Quinn and Stephanie Tyler said, “Me, too, please,” and several more eagerly followed suit getting their request into our queue. Unlike most design work where the copyright is held by the designer, we designed these for the public domain. Go ahead. Lift them (copy to your own server, of course, but please keep “waxcreative” in the file name.). All we ask is that you credit us somehow — on your site credits page, in the code… somewhere. Thanks.

And for UK editions:

And finally, we created a couple of publisher icons because they didn’t have their own:

And we made these, too, for GoodReads and LibraryThing:
Please tell us if you use these, or if you see them — leave urls in the comments. We’d love to watch some Wax get spread around. Enjoy!
Update Sept 2012 - Even more ordering buttons!

What a great idea!!
Lifted! Thanks so much!
Saw them site by Eloisa James: http://www.eloisajames.com/
Oh, wow, these are fantastic! I will definitely be using a few of these on my website. Thank you!!
Thanks for the buttons! I saw them on Eloisa James’ Facebook post.
Thank you. I copied the URLs for the images. I’m new to coding. Very green. Do I need to copy the images too?
Yes, you do. You cannot use the urls for the images, You must copy the images to your server… Thanks
Ooooh. . .pretty! (May I need one very soon.)
Brilliant work, Emily! Love the new buttons. How cool that you’re sharing them with the world!
Thanks Mia!
Emily, Harlequin is using that button for its iPhone Ap!
Thank you so much. I plan to add these to my website later today.
Any chance of you providing an icon for The Book Depository too? Pretty please.
Hi Karen, As of right now there are no plans for and icon for The Book Depository. But we will add it to the list. You never know. Thanks for your interest!
i love it, it’s very good.
These are fantastic. Thanks so much for offering these in the public domain. I noticed since this post was created that a Books-a-Million icon was also created. Is it OK to use that one as well (with the same attributions, of course)?
Absolutely!
thanks so much! will be using those for my author bosses’ sites!
You are welcome! Glad to hear it!
These are great! You missed Kobo, but I’ll let it slide because the Nook icon is beautiful. Thank you!!
Thank you for the updated ARe & Posman buttons. I have been using these since you first made them back in 2011 and I LOVE them!!
Will you be making one for Kobo & Shelfari, as well?
Thank you again!
[...] I must spread the word as to where I got the nifty icons. They were free from the WaxCreative Blog, but they really wanted a shout out if they get used. They are pretty great, so I’m happy to [...]
These are wonderful! I was searching high and low for buttons like these. I can’t wait to use them! Thank you!
Thank you for creating and sharing these! I saw them here: http://amandabrice.net/
Any plans to make amazon.ca versions for Canada?
We don’t currently have plans for Amazon.ca ordering buttons, but we do periodically add more. You never know; check back!
