This week we’re welcoming Land Arnold of Letters Bookshop. Land and Carrie begin by catching up with how Letters weathered the pandemic )they moved to a new location!). We then discuss selling on Bookshop.org, how the book industry’s experiences battling Amazon can be useful to other ecommerce shops, and why brick-and-mortar stores are important. We get into the nitty gritty of selling both new and used books, how often inventory should turn over, and where to begin if you want to start a bookstore.
MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
Amazon … we’re not linking to them. Find them if you must.
Parable of a Sower by Octavia Butler
