Or spectacles, you might be probably.
And so straight away, we're sort of there with you, sort of behind the till.
Yeah.
So did your mum buy the bookshop or did you buy it together?
Yes, because that's it.
So it's the passion of matching a customer to a book they're going to love, that's going to make their life better.
It's the best feeling when you can literally say to someone, I know exactly what you want.
It's so good.
Because it's never going to be financial.
You're definitely not in it for the money.
You can't.
So it's funny how often your customers seem to ignore the price printed on the back of the books because they expect you might have set your own price.
Yes.
Either more cheap or more expensive because that's the majority of capitalism is how much money do we want to make on this thing?
What can we make someone pay for it?
But with books...
There is a set price.
publisher that's the other thing is that um when people buy i mean especially like amazon um no one in the publishing industry is making any money either no because they're sold at a loss yes yeah and that's devastating and then it becomes important for like oh the amount of sales so customers are sort of pushed there by the publishing industry because they want to go oh it's this number on amazon or top seller or to gain publicity to then lose everybody money okay and actually
a huge huge amount of difference to where you are on the chart or like a bookshop thinking oh well it's how many they actually print yeah so the thing with pre-sales is they go oh there's this amount of demand we're already on our second print well let's make that print bigger and then they have to sell them so they'll do more PR and marketing and put it into people's hands and one of the things I thought was such a great tip Katie was that um when you send out to bookshops quite often the publishers will put like you know a little gift in there or something
and that they should be practical for booksellers.
