BookThink Update

An Interview with Marshall S. Thomas
Author of Soldier of the Legion
Collecting Science Fiction
Something I've noticed about BookThink interviews: often they seem to be most interesting when the author gets off the topic of his (or her) book. Though SF author Marshall S. Thomas does indeed discuss his first book, Soldier of the Legion, in today's interview with Science Fiction Editor Timothy Doyle, he also recounts the process of writing it, a project ultimately completed after some 20 years! As it so often does on the heels of persistence, success finally arrived, and Thomas's experience makes him eminently qualified to offer advice for would-be writers.

Big Money in Money Books
Part II: Timely Titles
There's big money in money books. Whether the topic is
stocks, real estate or something else, this is one of
the hottest, most profitable bookselling niches going,
and, since many important titles have been recently
published, they are relatively easy to find. If you
aren't capitalizing on this yet, this is your
opportunity to start reaping bookselling dividends. Part II of this BookThink series is available for
purchase now.

BookThink's Best Book Scouting Tips
How To Case Sales
BookThink launches a new monthly column today: BookThink's Best Book Scouting Tips. I'll do my best to keep it going solo (at least until the well runs dry), but I would much prefer to space my contributions out and publish some of your tips as well. Anything related to purchasing inventory will work.

Buying and Selling on eBay
It's the rare seller who hasn't
tackled eBay at one time or another. Getting all the pieces of a successful auction working
at the same time takes coordinated effort. Over the past two years, BookThink has set out
to help, scoping out the process of selling and buying-for-selling from different angles,
all converging on one point - how to make the most of eBay.
