Affiliate Disclosure

How links on houseofleavesbook.com are funded and labeled, and how that affects (or rather, doesn’t affect) our editorial content.

What are affiliate links?

Some outbound retailer links on this Site are “affiliate links.” If you click and make a qualifying purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. These commissions help keep the Site online and free.

Regulatory note: We follow the spirit of the FTC (US) and ASA/CAP (UK) guidance on advertising disclosure and endorsements.

How we choose links

Editorial first

  • We pick sources that are reputable and in-stock.
  • We prefer editions/formats that best serve the reading experience.
  • Regional options are provided where possible (US/UK/CA/AU).

Funding second

  • If multiple retailers are comparable, we may choose one that offers an affiliate program.
  • We do not accept payment to change our recommendations.

How we label affiliate links

Affiliate links are clearly identified near the link with short text or a badge. We also use link attributes recognized by search engines.

PatternExample
Inline text cue Buy paperback affiliate
ARIA/rel attributes <a href="..." rel="sponsored nofollow" aria-label="Affiliate link to Retailer">Buy</a>
Page-level reminder Pages with many outbound shop links include a top note about affiliates.

Price & availability

Affiliate participation does not change the price you pay. Prices and stock can vary by region and over time—always check the retailer’s page for current information.

Tracking & privacy

Retailers may use their own cookies or tracking parameters to attribute a sale to our link. For details on analytics and cookies used on this Site, see our Privacy Policy. You can manage cookies in your browser settings.

Editorial independence

All recommendations are made for reader benefit. We do not accept payment to feature a retailer, change rankings, or alter our reading advice. Affiliate status never overrides relevance, availability, or reader experience.
