portland whirlwind...
I flew up to Portland yesterday to pick up a group of books that I bought a few weeks ago… 73 boxes, each 18×12×12 = heavy! I'm rather exhausted. All this because I have the idea of opening a general used bookshop one day. This of course is folly… but I've always been in favor of learning by doing (also, that seems to be the only way of getting things through my thick skull). Anyway, now I have a 5×10' storage space completely filled books, maybe 175 boxes total…. that's probably 4500 or so volumes… just a start… after all, you can't decide to open a bookstore one day and then magically obtain 20-30,000 books… at least not at an advantageous price. I do feel good about the quality of the books I have purchased so far, which is a good thing.
I'll write more about the folly of bookselling and art dealing in a future post… for now suffice it to say that the intersection of passion, commerce and success in small business isn't on any map.
