Bookscouting, By the Book: A Manual for Cash-Strapped Bibliophiles

Lexington, Kentucky, U.S.A.: CreateSpace Independent Publishing, 2010. How would you like to be paid cash every week to collect a personal library in your spare time? This book can teach you this without the stress of answering email or meeting any deadlines. If fifteen hours a week of hunting books doesn't sound like fun, then this is not the book for you; but if you're a book hound like the author you'll find a method here to turn just such a hobby into a paying profession, all while reading what you want for free. Traditional Bookscouting is a proven, realistic method of building a library and paying oneself to do so. People have been doing it for hundreds of years. A Traditional Book Scout never has to answer email or box up books for mailing - he makes his own hours and pays his own way, showing a weekly and yearly profit while creating a significant personal collection. The knowledge of Book Trading the author has amassed in more than ten years as a serious collector and Book Scout. Clearly broken down into relevant sections that you'll be sure to remember. You'll learn the details and numbers of the trade, and see why scouting secondhand and used books offers so much more variety than any pedestrian browsing at a chain mega-store. Finally, there's a strong philosophy running through the book that upfront honesty and simple deals are just as much of a key to profits as they are to a healthy spirit - a low-stress method of living that has served the author well. 138 pages..
