How to Sell Books, Zines, and Underground Literature in Your Store--And Change the World!

Illustrator: Law, Larry

Beschreibung

Got a store? Looking for new ways to sell books and zines, or to start carrying reading material to begin with? Microcosm gets questions all the time about how to display our books, zines, and decks, and we put together this zine to spark your imagination with merchandising. We talk about themed displays, planograms, choosing eye-catching titles, the conundrum of zine display, and much more. If you are looking to sell printed reading material in your gift shop, record store, grocery store, candle shop, apothecary, bike shop, medical office, band merch table, or any other type of place that doesn't primarily sell books, this is for you! If you work in a bookstore, this is also for you! Packed with intermediate advice, real-world examples from rad stores we love, and illustrations by artist and bookselling pro Larry Law, this little zine is bound (okay, stapled) to give you some new ideas and inspiration to have more fun and use books and zines to help tell the story of your shop and spread the joy of reading.
