Disclosure

Satchel Lane sometimes recommends things — books, objects, places, tools — and some of those recommendations use affiliate links. Here's what that means and, more importantly, what it doesn't.

What an affiliate link is

Some links on Satchel Lane are affiliate links. If you make a purchase through one of them, we may earn a small commission. It costs you nothing extra; the price is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.

What it doesn't mean

An affiliate link does not mean we were paid to recommend something. Nothing appears in Satchel Lane simply because it can earn a commission. It must first earn its place on editorial merit.

Commercial value never decides editorial value. We would rather lose the commission than lose your trust.

Where a piece contains affiliate links, we disclose that clearly so you know before you click. If a relationship goes beyond a standard affiliate arrangement such as a complimentary product or paid partnership - we identify it plainly and specifically within the relevant piece.
