A must have if you really are considering owning a bookstore

With practical essays written by bookstore owners, this book provides both the pros and cons of owning a bookstore. It may help you rethink the idea and/or the concept of the type of store you wish to operate. I've never owned a bookstore and have never been in the retail business, but have a strong urge to own and operate a used bookstore. Although used bookselling is different in fundamental ways than selling new books, the Manual on Bookselling provides information that anyone considering owning a bookstore must consider. A must purchase if you are considering owning and operating a bookstore!
