Things I’ve Learned Selling Books

there really is nothing harder than matching the right book to “I don’t know, I think it’s blue?”

but if you have one or two more pieces of info, it’s actually pretty easy

if someone says they’ve forgotten most of the title, they remember at least 80%

if you review a book, it will sell better

when handselling, lateral thinking is a godsend

setting up display tables is basically Tetris

you will never be able to read everything

but people assume you have anyway

if you hand a man a book, he’s more likely to buy it

there are people in this world who think an interest in dinosaurs should stop at age 12

if a book is front-faced, you can look straight at it and not see it

the only time a movie cover really sells is if it’s half-price

if a book has two different covers or sizes, people will think the content is different too

if a customer likes you, you may just learn their life story

women will buy how-to books for pickup artists in self-defense

if someone asks for a book in the morning and you don’t have it, it’ll show up in the afternoon delivery

the UK gets all the best covers

book people are awesome

right before you start tidying a section is when it’ll get browsers for the first time in a week

there is an art to peeling stickers off books

that said, GooGone and lighter fluid will save your life

never underestimate the card section

there’s nothing like discovering a customer is a kindred reading spirit

there’s nothing like discovering a coworker is a kindred reading spirit

no music is acceptable to everyone

middle-aged women will make excuses for reading teen fiction; younger women own it

there is a certain type of cheerful drunk who wants to buy all the books

it is possible to create a really nice window display using only table cloths and cardboard (and books)

if you carry around stacks of books the length of your arm, people will look at you funny but it’s better than lifting weights

it also makes shelving go faster

if the local baristas know your whole staff on sight, they will occasionally show up with free samples (or coupons)

avid kid readers are the best
