Starting a Bookstore

Description

Richard Skorman started his bookstore right out of college in 1975. He has added to and expanded his bookstore in many ways over the last 36 years - even incorporating a movie theater at one point!

In this program, Richard discusses how many books you need to start out; where to find your inventory; why remainder books may not be the best buy; the vital importance of a love of books; how knowing your customer will result in sales; where you can make a niche; what a book scout is; how to create a store culture; and more.
