Back to Business

Oh, where to start? It has been too long since my last blog. A lot of things got in the way of my leisure activity, including two moves and the fact that I am now in my last semester for my Bachelor's Degree. However lately I have been having that itchy feeling where I just want to play with books.

The other thing that I have neglected is my online business of selling books. In the past, I did well enough with having my own EBay bookstore, which I also let slide and I am just now getting back into the swing of. Also, I have started selling on Amazon as well.

I have also been looking into how I can obtain larger amounts of books from other whole-sellers in order to resale, however as an unemployed student my financial resources are very limited and currently cannot afford to buy in bulk. So I am therefore exploring as many possibilities as possible. While my first love will always be in the Rare and Antique First Editions, I'm aware that if I want to build my business I will have to expand and sell a few of the more modern novels as well.

So the plan is, to use this blog to chat occasionally about what is in my personnel library as well as perhaps discuss a few of the First Editions that come to mind. Along the way I will also like to offer up a few that I might have for sale, or maybe point you to my online sales. If anywhere in there, someone else choose to jump in and point out where I might be wrong about the value or points of the editions, please do so; I do not claim to be an expert, only a student. So fell free to teach me.
