![]() "Larry L" wrote in message ... Both my wife and my kid are nearly obsessed with books. It occurred to me I might help them get their own book store started. Now, practically speaking, in an age of Kindles, Amazon etc etc ... I guess it would be hard to come up with a poorer business plan But Anybody have any "insider" facts/ opinions on the future of small independent book sellers? Sources for such informed predictions? Probably the only indi book store that could make it these days would specialize in used books. |

I have no insider facts/opinions, but my outsider opinion is that you're right about it being a poor business plan. I knew a woman who loved to bake. It was her passion of the moment. She married an older man with a lot of dough -- both of them from out of town. He built her a bakery here, and a matching log house. Both lovely. She moved in with two enormous dogs and fell in love with a local working construction on the bakery/house, divorced her husband, married the guy, had a baby, lost the dogs, and is now in graduate school in Boise. Another couple owns the bakery. It's doing very well. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |
