What makes running a bookshop hard
If you run a bookshop, you will recognise these.
Thousands of titles
Each title and edition is a separate item, and shelves rarely match the records.
School season rush
Textbook demand spikes in a few weeks and stock runs out.
Slow titles tie up money
Books that do not sell sit for years.
"Do you have this book?"
Customers ask by message before they visit.

Features bookshops use most
