If you have ever considered opening a used bookstore, here is your chance to learn from someone who knows first-hand what it takes. In 2003 Stephanie Chandler left behind a career in the Silicon Valley and opened a 2800-square foot bookstore in Sacramento, California. Along the way she documented her processes, noting what worked and didn't work, and compiled the results into this comprehensive, real-world guide that explains what it takes to start and run a successful used bookstore. Features in this workbook include:
- WORKSHEETS: Budget planning, evaluating competition, forecasting, and more
- BUSINESS BASICS: What you need to get started
- INVENTORY: Twelve sources for acquiring used books
- SUPPLIERS: Library supplies, printed goods, retail supplies and more
- SHOP SET-UP: Store layout, book categories, bookseller software and tools
- OPERATIONS PROCEDURES: Trade policies, overstock, and a sample operations manual
- MARKETING: Low-co
Editorial : "I used your book to set up my used book store and we celebrated our one year anniversary on August 1st. I couldn't have done it without your book. Many thanks!" - Lou Grant, hidesertbookoasis --Reader feedback from the first edition

If I had understood, practiced and stuck to "Cure #1" "start thy purse to fattening" (which means to retain at least 10% of your esrnings) alone I would be much better off financially than currently. Raising the Bar was an excellent and easy read, but I didn't expect anything less from Tim Rosaforte.
People who follow the game of golf extremely closely may not find out much more about Woods than they already know by reading Raising the Bar. this book documents fred ho's path of integrity and resistance against the ruling classes in both the u.s. There is much to exult about and much to damn. And if this work helps us make wise health-care decisions and increase the efficacy of health-care providers, then may the saints be praised..
