When did you get started in bookselling?

I started selling books around 7 months ago - being an avid reader and loving books in general, it progressed from there...

What drew you to bookselling?

Books...love reading...

What is your favorite part of being a bookseller?

Bookselling for me has a calming effect, operational from home means flexibility to do other things

What is your favorite bookshop (other than your own)?

Any small family run bookshop.

What do you personally like to read? Collect?

Anything really apart from horror or sci-fi

What's your favorite book you personally own? Would you sell it, if the price were right?

Good question - I have a book that is inscribed and dated 1879 which I picked up from a op-shop many years ago for 50 cents which I love - it gives advice on how to treat your husband, how to behave in society...would I sell...mmmm…if the price was right maybe...

If you were stranded on a desert island and could bring three books, what would they be?

It would have to be 3 books on the subject of "How to Survive on a Desert Island" possibly one by Bear Grylls (if he has written one)
