Download or read book EBay Bookseller Secrets written by Jack Holland and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fortunes are being made everyday in the eBay book trade. This concise guide unlocks the secrets of the highly lucrative market. Whether you are a buyer or seller, this guide puts you in the driver's seat. Why do dozens of books go unsold on eBay each day? Is it a buyer's market or a seller's market? All this and much more revealed inside! Disclaimer: The Fine Print Caution: This is a 30 page book, and sells for $49.95 a copy. That works out to around a $1.66 per page. It is very expensive. As I not only write, but edit, select the artwork, design the covers, and do the layout for all my own books, with the support of a loving wife, and a gentleman professor friend, who has a keen eye for grammatical slaughter, I expect to be rewarded for my efforts. Therefore, you are buying my creativity, and it is does not come cheaply. The artist who accepts a pittance for his work is likely to remain poor, and deserves what he receives, which is a fool's errand. Matter of fact, this book is much too expensive for most folks, and curiosity seekers may well find the information falls short of their expectations. Much like buying stocks, if one cannot afford to shell out 50 Bucks for frivolous expenditures, then one's money should remain in the bank. For those who are risk averse, I suggest instead, they may wish to consider a copy of Thomas Pynchon's Mason and Dixon as it has somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 pages, or perhaps, spending the fifty bucks on a sure thing...say life insurance for instance. Fifty bucks will also buy around six gallons of gas, and a half a dozen shotgun shells, should one have the desire to drive out to the country, pull the trigger, and follow in the footsteps of other literary greats, such as Ernest Hemingway, Hart Crane, Virginia Woolf, Heinrich von Kleist, or more recently, Gonzo (Hunter S. Thompson). They went out with a bang, so to speak. And, if the public has been sufficiently convinced by the literary critics, that the shooter was a great artist, prior to having pulled the trigger, there is a chance that a literary prize might be named after them. Now, to set the record straight, Virginia Woolf didn't use a gun, she simply filled her pockets with rocks, and walked into the River Ouse, in England. Heinrich von Kleist shot himself, after doing his wife in first, on the shores of the Little Wansee River, in Germany. I wonder if Kleist used a double-barreled shotgun. Hemingway apparently blew his own head off in the doorway of his Ketchum, Idaho ranch house. Since he did not leave a suicide note, we have no way of knowing whether or not he intended to make it down to the river first, and simply changed his mind, or perhaps tripped, and had an accident. The press, in fact, at the time, covered his suicide up, calling it an accident. We certainly cannot have our literary heroes, and Nobel Prize winners in control of their own destiny, what? Gonzo planned his own killing years in advance, there was no surprise there. Woolf, Hemingway, and Kleist each have literary prizes named after them. Literary critics have also been known to pull the trigger, at a rate of about 1 per every 34 suicidal writers. Apparently there are more writers than critics, or perhaps the writers drive the critics to suicide. At any rate, it is recommended that one may wish to buy a life insurance policy prior to pulling the trigger, at least then, the fifty bucks is sure to pay off. However, I can assure one and all that a much more pleasant way to earn a return on one's fifty dollar investment is to put the time tested bookselling strategies, which are laid out in this book, to work. PS. This is the Deluxe First Edition, First Printing. If you happened to buy one of the earlier First Editions with the yellow cover that read Top Secret on the inside cover, you may wish to hang onto it, as there were only 414 published. Jack Holland

Download or read book Intentional Integrity written by Robert Chesnut and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silicon Valley expert Robert Chesnut shows that companies that do not think seriously about a crucial element of corporate culture—integrity—are destined to fail. “Show of hands—who in this group has integrity?” It’s with this direct and often uncomfortable question that Robert Chesnut, General Counsel of Airbnb, begins every presentation to new employees. Defining integrity is difficult. Once understood as “telling the truth and keeping your word,” it was about following not just the letter but the spirit of the law. But in a moment when workplaces are becoming more diverse, global, and connected, silence about integrity creates ambiguities about right and wrong that make everyone uncertain, opening the door for the minority of people to rationalize selfish behavior. Trust in most traditional institutions is down—government, religious organizations, and higher education—and there’s a dark cloud hovering over technology. But this is precisely where companies come in; as peoples’ faith in establishments deteriorates, they’re turning to their employer for stability. In Intentional Integrity, Chesnut offers a six-step process for leaders to foster and manage a culture of integrity at work. He explains the rationale and legal context for the ethics and practices, and presents scenarios to illuminate the nuances of thinking deeply and objectively about workplace culture. We will always need governments to manage defense, infrastructure, and basic societal functions. But, Chesnut argues, the private sector has the responsibility to use sensitivity and flexibility to make broader progress—if they act with integrity. "Rob is an insider who's combined doing good with doing business well in two iconic Silicon Valley companies. His book contains smart, practical advice for anyone looking to do good and do well.” —Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn and author of Blitzscaling

Download or read book The Last Bookseller written by Gary Goodman and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wry, unvarnished chronicle of a career in the rare book trade during its last Golden Age When Gary Goodman wandered into a run-down, used-book shop that was going out of business in East St. Paul in 1982, he had no idea the visit would change his life. He walked in as a psychiatric counselor and walked out as the store’s new owner. In The Last Bookseller Goodman describes his sometimes desperate, sometimes hilarious career as a used and rare book dealer in Minnesota—the early struggles, the travels to estate sales and book fairs, the remarkable finds, and the bibliophiles, forgers, book thieves, and book hoarders he met along the way. Here we meet the infamous St. Paul Book Bandit, Stephen Blumberg, who stole 24,000 rare books worth more than fifty million dollars; John Jenkins, the Texas rare book dealer who (probably) was murdered while standing in the middle of the Colorado River; and the eccentric Melvin McCosh, who filled his dilapidated Lake Minnetonka mansion with half a million books. In 1990, with a couple of partners, Goodman opened St. Croix Antiquarian Books in Stillwater, one of the Twin Cities region’s most venerable bookshops until it closed in 2017. This store became so successful and inspired so many other booksellers to move to town that Richard Booth, founder of the “book town” movement in Hay-on-Wye in Wales, declared Stillwater the First Book Town in North America. The internet changed the book business forever, and Goodman details how, after 2000, the internet made stores like his obsolete. In the 1990s, the Twin Cities had nearly fifty secondhand bookshops; today, there are fewer than ten. As both a memoir and a history of booksellers and book scouts, criminals and collectors, The Last Bookseller offers an ultimately poignant account of the used and rare book business during its final Golden Age.
