Hey BSOBers!

I am very sad to say that I will need to retire from posting on the blog.

I have thoroughly enjoyed working and talking with all of you, you’re a fantastic group of people with creative ideas and a good sense of community.

The company I work for has recently landed a new client that is going to absorb a significant portion of my time - which means I won’t be able to give the blog the attention it deserves.

That being said, both Lucas and I are very hopeful that one of you would like to contribute to BSOB. Not only will you be able to provide the news and insight other booksellers are looking for, the networking opportunities are fabulous! I have met some of the greatest people as part of my experience here.

If you are interested, please drop Lucas a line to help maintain what I feel is one of the most positive communities in business. You can reach Lucas by emailing: editor [at} booksellingonlineblog {dot] com
Thank you all once again!

Sincerely,

Paul

As the first semester after the summer gets closer more news articles are covering the plight of the student and what they’re doing to avoid the high textbook cost.

Even if textbooks are not your specialty, it couldn’t hurt if you have a good source of textbooks that you can resell for less than the campus bookstore.

BookRouter, a central place to manage a number of book listing services (like AbeBooks, Amazon, Alibris, etc) has a good list of available places to list your inventory.

Even if you’re not interested in using BookRouter’s services, you can see use their list as a good reference point and comparison list for the available marketplaces out there.
