Back on the Blog

We are in a business that requires a great deal of patience and a keen understanding of what's hot and what's not. In the meantime we need to prepare ourselves for someday being a "what's hot" bookseller. You are defintely spending more time in preparing then I am.

How are the books? Do you need help moving them? Do we need to set up our own storage space? Are we ready to spend a few bucks on a Google ad?

Get some interesting e-mails from abe books periodically. A few weeks ago I received a list of long-lost books dealing with nuclear holocausts--interesting items to collect. Believe it or not there was one bookseller trying to pawn of one of these gems for nearly $7000.00! Last week's updates were collectable editions of long lost pulitzer prize winners. Goes to show you what an odd business we are in and that people collect books about all kinds of topics and/or for all kinds of reasons and in most cases probably don't care what people think about their collection--it's their thing to do.

peace out/:)
