  • BEST for Books and Support

    I searched everywhere and viewed all the plug ins for my wp site. I decided on HM books and I am so glad I did. If you are like me, you appreciate good customer service and you stay with the company that provides the best. This developer goes above and beyond to help you. He has a chat available and seems to be always on! Not sure when he sleeps! This app has so many things you can do, I can not wait to try them all. I really like that I can sell anywhere and I can have a buy button for anywhere pretty much! Some folks want to buy on amazon, sometimes they go to your author page to buy and sometimes maybe they want apple. Everything is here in this app. Of all my apps, this one rates at the top for customer service and how it performs with all the bells and whistles!

  • Excellent Plugin for Book Lovers and Showcases

    Thank you for creating WP Books Gallery. It is one of the cleanest and most visually appealing book showcase plugins I have seen for WordPress. I am using the free version on my site, and the grid, slider, filter, and author-related features look perfect for what I want to build
