Mastering Bookselling
Is It Really What Your Think It Is?

Gold Edition #43

$5

I thought perhaps this might be a good time ... to discuss something ... fundamental - the present health of your businesses and what can be done to improve them. If you believe that your business is suffering largely for reasons beyond your control - the economy, too much competition, planet misalignment, etc. - you won't be interested in what I have to say. On the other hand, if you believe that you've played a large role in creating your situation, you might want to check in. There are things you can do immediately to turn things around.

When "Bad" Books are Good

Gold Edition #44

$5.00

Before I resume my discussion about buying and selling hypermodern mainstream fiction, I'm going to step back in time slightly to what is commonly regarded as modern fiction - and not just any modern fiction but the most collectible fiction out there. And forget about first editions. I'm going to put some easy money in your pockets. Over the years I've compiled a list of titles in my scouting book that are so intensely collected that we booksellers can make good money selling copies of them even if we never encounter anything in a first edition state.

Buying and Selling Hypermodern Signed First Editions

Gold Edition #45

$5.00

One of the most profitable niches for the hypermodern specialist is signed first editions. Of course, not all hypermodern SFEs have significant value - in fact, it's safe to say that most don't, either because the author signed so many copies that supply outpaces demand or the author book isn't especially collectible. But is it practical for a bookseller to specialize in SFEs? Gold Edition #45 answers this questions - and much more.

A Bookseller's Guide to Betty Crocker

Gold Edition #48

Years ago I recall thinking that it might be possible to make a good part-time income selling nothing but Betty Crocker cookbooks. I'm sure this isn't possible now, but even today, booksellers who don't know this niche cold are leaving thousands of dollars on the table year-in and year-out.
