Summary: The Book Seller's Bible
Comment: When I decided to attack my book buying & selling religiously, I turned Christine E. Miller's manual into my bible & my prayers were answered.
Before reading this guide, I thought I knew what it took to search out used books, list them, and make $1000/month. The author convinced me that I didn't have to settle for this if I expanded my search area, invested in what she calls a "look-up tool," and expanded my inventory three-fold.
She walks the neophyte through the process of buying, stocking, listing, and shipping in an upbeat, sometimes humorous tone. Especially strong was the section on pricing, sales rank, and availability. How many of us have looked at price alone without taking into account how long it make take to move the book or how many other copies were listed?
Before reading the book, I had thought I could pick up some tips on where to buy books online, but she makes it clear that her suggestions on locales were for brick and mortar only.
A new bookseller tends to list a title quickly just to get the process going. Christine's Appendices section helps new and seasoned sellers learn/review Amazon's listing guidelines and terminology. Who knew that words like "sunned," "cocked," and "foxed" can be used to describe books?
Many new booksellers are stymed by other bookscouts' special beeping devices. This manual's list of "look-up tools" and pricing software websites, while not complete, answers many of these questions.
Just because you've shipped out a book doesn't necessarily mean you're finished with it either. This manual deals with confirmation letters and letters to request negative feedback removal.
I've read Christine Miller's book cover to cover, and am confident that I made the right decision in giving up a career teaching middle school Language Arts for the "rush" that comes from seeing that Amazon email telling me I'd sold another book. Thank you Christine.

Summary: Loved The Book!!!
Comment: I bought this book to learn about selling books on Amazon after my daughter brought books home from college and asked me to sell them. I think this book is very thorough and well written. It is also a quick read but didn't overwhelm me like some other books I've read on this topic. This book gave me the motivation I need along with practical advice on how to get started and grow this type of home based business. I would highly recommend it.

Summary: Great book for someone starting out and also as a continued reference.
Comment: Although I am no longer a stay-at-home mom, I chose this book from all of those available since it seemed like it would best fit my beginning approach to selling books online. I picked the right book and it has been well worth the price. It covered almost every question I had and presented the information in a friendly encouraging manner. I could identify with the author's experiences in many ways: "selling handpainted t-shirts", home parties, etc. Been there done that! Selling books is less time intensive and more fun and you learn while doing it. You can be out with kids and shopping for books at the same time. I especially liked Christine's encouraging style and view that "there are enough books out there for everyone" as I am not a competitive, cutthroat person and would like to enjoy the process rather than become stressed out. This book encourages you to do just that. Christine's book helped me to focus in on the types of books to look for by giving examples of her own sales and pricing strategies. Books I would have discarded as worthless now get a second look. I will refer to this guide over and over again as I learn more about the process of selling. Thanks for taking the time to write this and share your knowledge. Donna B. Elkins Park, PA

The book it self reminds me of a college term paper. I think the price is a little high for a book in this format, but the content makes up for it.
