Description
by Bud Webster (Author)
Within these pages, you'll learn all of the basics behind bookselling for the part-time, convention bookseller from stock selection and setup to pricing and shipping. With Bud's many years of experience behind the dealer's table, he is in a unique position to guide the newbie bookseller with his insights into the business, and to offer his personal thoughts as a life-long bibliophile.
Author Biography
Bud Webster has been buying and selling sf and fantasy for almost 40 years, beginning with comics and soon graduating to real books, the ones that have more words than pictures. Most of his working career has been spent in retail of one sort or another, and his bookselling experience ranges from large book store chains to independent specialty bookshops. Over the years, Bud's supplemented his hard-won knowledge of the field by poring over his personal reference library and by consulting those even more obsessed than he. Along the way he also proved he paid attention while reading all of those books by selling fiction and nonfiction to a variety of markets including Analog and The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. Bud's one of few living Americans who can properly be called an award-winning epic poet. He lives in sin in Central Virginia with an understanding woman and three furiously neurotic damn cats (aren't they all?).
