BOOKS: The Not-So-Secret Origin of One Second-Hand Bookseller

[dewline]

I think I know of a place like this in Ottawa, a "hole in the wall" second-hand bookstore. All Books. I don't know how it got started, mind you.

More and more, though, I am thinking that - like the gentleman in this profile - I am going to have to become a bookseller myself to find new homes for my own collection. I would prefer to sell to people who find some kind of appreciation in each book going out my family's door.

I'm destashing my yarn and fiber stash on Ravelry, it's a similar kind of mindset. I'm sending the yarn off for others to make lovely things and I get a little bit of cash (I'm marking the yarn off 70% retail and having people pay for the postage).
