Interview with Lauren Komnenus of Farbeyond Books

When did you get started in bookselling?
Started in 2023, as a way to help sort the many books from the Estate of James Gunn.
What drew you to bookselling?
The quietness of it all, sitting in stacks of books, organizing an inventory, researching the value, it is all very fun.
Did you have any mentors in becoming a bookseller?
I have help from the exceptional Kij Johnson, who grew up in her family's bookstore, and has taught me many tricks to cleaning up and organizing books.
What are your specialties as a dealer?
Science fiction classics
What's the most amazing book you've ever sold?
Signed copy of Asimov's "Foundation"
What is your favorite part of being a bookseller?
Taking care of books and finding them new homes
If so, do/did you have any bookstore pets?
I work from home so I always have my cats Miette & Leeloo and cockatiels Peepers & Petri to keep me company.
What is your favorite bookshop (other than your own)?
The Raven Bookstore in downtown Lawrence, Kansas!
What do you personally like to read? Collect?
I am currently on a Romance/Fantasy binge, but considering that my partner is a science fiction author his stories will remain my favorites.
What's your favorite book you personally own? Would you sell it, if the price were right?
An original Chilton Press first edition of Dune!
What one book would you buy if price were no object?
A signed copy of "The Martian Chronicles" by Bradbury
If you were stranded on a desert island and could bring three books, what would they be?
The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury is all I would need
