This is the revised edition of the basic manual on bookselling in America. Industry specialists and booksellers who sell books for a living and actually make a profit doing it have contributed more than fifty articles, of which at least half have never before been published. These include every facet of buying, stocking, and running a bookstore. There is substantial information for anyone who is thinking of buying or selling a bookstore, who manages a shop, who works in one, or tries to sell books to one. Articles Include: How to Become a Bookseller, by G. Royce Smith; Practical Details for Improving Profits, by Eliot Leonard, Setting Up a Children's Book Department by Judith M. Noyes; Direct Mail for Retail Bookstores by Morton Levin, a bookman's glossary; and a bibliography, Books about Books by Charles B. Anderson. This book is what it says it is: a manual. But it is a manual for a very special kind of retailing, one in which everyone is expected to be an expert on everything from the 350,00 plus books in print to the hundreds of different conditions under which over 1500 publishers will part with them. It is a manual for a special breed of people who think that the reward of getting the right book to the right person at the right time at the right price is worth all the frustrations of running a bookstore.
