New books, events and advice. Hand the right book to the right reader.
The trade discount on a new book is fixed and thin, and the price is printed on the cover, so there is no room to be clever with pricing. What a bookshop sells is judgement: a table of recommendations, a school supply contract and an events programme that turns a shop into a place people come to. Sale or return on some titles softens the risk, but the rest is cash sitting on a shelf.
