Personal Review: Selling Used Books Online: The Complete
Guide to Bookselling at Amazons Marketplace and Other Online
Sites by Stephen Windwalker
There are so many books out there nowadays that talk about online book
selling. The reason I picked this one to read is because I liked it's author's
name - Windwalker. It was delight to find out that the author is in fact
Native American. But besides that personal preference of mine, I found
book to be very helpful. As most people, I started selling books online as a
means of relinquishing non-essential inventory from my personal library. It
is thru the interactions of my online customers that I learned to enjoy an
activity previously considered a chore. Although I am not a professional
bookseller, I am delighted to be a part of the bookselling community for the
books I no longer wish to keep in my personal library that can still find a
good home. This book manual has helped me understand some basic
business rules on bookselling which I kind of pick up on intuitively. This is
a comprehensive handbook that covers everything, from building a

business plan, to making a proper book descriptions online. Without large
inventory, I cannot see how people can make living off this. But as a
hobby, this is a great way to deliver books to a reading community where
readership has limited resources or time to find them in the regular brick
and mortar book stores. I definitely recommend this book to anyone
interested in learning more about online bookselling.
