About a Career as a Bookstore Owner

In our culture, bookstores are seen as social, intellectual and downright hip. Many bookstores are a place of community where people gather and know one another and talk. Your bookstore can also be the site of exciting events, including book signings with famous authors.

As a bookstore owner, you will have the freedom to make your own decisions and express your own creative spirit. You have the luxury of selling the type of books you want to sell.

You can sell all new books, all used books, a combination of both, or even rare and collectible books. You could have a bookstore that sells a variety of categories of books, or specialize in a niche such as science fiction, Christian, feminist, children's or art books.

You can also enjoy an excellent reputation as an important part of your local business community. Many booksellers make a significant impact on the city or town where they live. You could open a bookstore that becomes a town institution or a must-see for tourists.
