Why Bookselling Isn't Working for You
Part IV: Tortoises, Hares and the Southern Sandbur
As the end of 2004 draws near, have you stopped to reflect on what kind of year it's been? For some of us, it's been a very good one indeed. We're doing something we love doing and making money doing it. Who could ask for more? For the rest of us, it's been so-so. Or bad. In any case, if things aren't going well for you yet, you've come to the right place. Our four-part series, "Why Bookselling Isn't Working for You," concludes today with a tale retold for the struggling bookseller - "The Tortoise and the Hare."

BookThink's Gold Edition
Common Magazines, Uncommon Profits
Part I: The Basics
Big profits in common magazines? Well, if there are
any secrets to making a good living in the book biz,
selling magazines – yes, common ones included – may be
one of the best kept. And yet, given the huge numbers
that many magazines were printed in, not to mention
the frequency with which even vintage or antique
examples surface at estate sales, auctions and other
venues, it seems, at first glance, unlikely that many
of them would be worth bothering with. Au contraire,
ALMOST ALL OF THEM are worth bothering with – in fact,
they can be as profitable as high end books. How can
this be? Get the answer is in this month’s Gold
Edition.

BookThink's 50/50 - that will list and annotate in detail 50 books per issue that
typically sell for more than $50 online and - here's the best part - will include only those
books that will surface at sales and other venues with some regularity. In other words, this is
information you can use and profit from often. Uncommon books will simply not be included.
