Profits in VHS Tapes
Documentaries and Other Nonfiction
Get your scouting books out again. You may recall my article on DVDs sometime back - how fitting them into your bookselling schemes can be both easily accomplished and profitable. Today the topic is VHS tapes, and if you think that they've been supplanted by DVDs, think again. Pick your spots, and results can be surprisingly rewarding as well. Here to show you what some of those spots are is new BookThink columnist William Klimon.

Building A Book Web Site
Update: How Did We Do?
Media Editor Catherine Petruccione is here with an update on her website bookstore. You may recall a two-part article she wrote for BookThink last year that detailed her experiences and offered numerous helpful suggestions. Today she's back to give you some results, also to offer a few more suggestions - and I'll let her tell you if it's been a success or not. Or should we let the picture do the talking? |
BookThink's Bookseller Profiles
Ashland Book Company
We caught another live one for this month's Bookseller Profile - this time an entire bookselling family headed by Brian and Anita Ashland. Brian and Anita found a nifty solution for home schooling their four girls and making money along the way - none other than bookselling, of course. For those of you who haven't done a profile yet, I strongly suggest that you read the last paragraph in Cathy's article. |

How To Double Your Book Sales Overnight
The Spots They Are A-Changin- - Again!
I started writing bookselling how-to articles, oh, about 5 or 6 years ago. Based on feedback I've received over time, I know that some of them have had a significant impact on your sales. It's always difficult to predict how much impact any given article will have in advance of publishing it, and it's certainly dangerous to predict that anything will score at all - I've been surprised too often, and not always pleasantly! - but I'm truly hoping that today's article might be one of those that does hit the target, maybe the bulls eye. Read it, give my suggestion a try, and report back when results are in.
