What can I learn about opening and owning a bookstore?
 Retail bookselling – with over 3 million books in print and more than 200,000 new books published each year – has more in common with an information technology business than it does with another kind of specialty retailer. Plus, the book industry has unique language, terms of sale, margins and sales seasons. That’s why a retail career guide from “Jobs ‘R Us” just doesn’t address all the specifics you need to know if you want to open a bookstore.
Bookselling isn’t rocket science, but there are real challenges to running a bookstore as a business instead of a hobby. Our goal is to help you avoid painful and costly mistakes we've seen from others who rushed the process. Even owning a small bookshop involves knowing the complexities and nuances of the book industry. Learn before you leap!
