Joyce Kosofsky: How to Keep a Used Bookstore Running—It’s a Business

Описание к видео Joyce Kosofsky: How to Keep a Used Bookstore Running—It’s a Business

People always say that they'd love to run a bookstore. Joyce has been doing that (along with her husband, Ken Gloss) since 1978. There's not a lot of sitting around and reading (if any). It's a lot of work. Physical and mental. There's stocking stock (books are heavy), dealing with customers and other dealers, and poop in the lot. There's the physical aspect of the building's upkeep and the emotional toll when it all burns down (literally) and starts all over from scratch.

Joyce would like to share a brief timeline of the past 45 years of running a used bookshop with all its faults.
