Online Bookselling: A Practical Guide with Detailed Explanations and Insightful Tips
this is the 1st book on the subject i’ve read, and there are some good points and tips. . . frankly, i think too much space was devoted to packing issues, and the pricing given for various supplies and services is certainly out of date, making one feel as if they’re “late to the game”, even though they just received the book. . . i’d suggest an update. . .

Michael Mould covers every detail for those who are interested in online bookselling (as a hobby or a business). I keep this book on my desk and refer to it frequently. Personally, I found the photographs on packaging and shipping to be very interesting (and vital, considering some of his own USPS experiences and insights). He even provides an informative “A Day in the Business” section detailing his own daily bookselling procedures. Very helpful. I have yet to see another bookselling guide to offer such detailed information or step-by-step illustration.

There are so many books that talk about being a “how to” book but after reading them you realize that its only a summary of what to do to be succsessful. Michael’s book is like having a mentor who actually wants you to succeed by your side.

For anyone who wants to start selling books online, this book is a must. Michael not only gives you the pros, but he gives you the cons of online bookselling and lets you make up your own mind as to whether you want to start selling books online. He covers every detail and there are lots of them! It contains a wealth of information not only about selling, but shipping, storing, accounting, etc. I continue to refer to it often.
This book is truly a treaure. Thanks Michael!

I probably purchased every book on selling books online. The book by Michael E. Mould, if purchased first, would have saved me a lot of money and frustration. He has answered every question I could have asked about selling books online in a concise easy to understand format. I have used many of his suggestions from scheduling my time to pricing and grading my inventory and much more in-between. His impressions of where to sell my books was useful since I was already signed up with Amazon but had not begun to sell anything. He gave me the confidence to know I had made the right decision in choosing Amazon. His knowledge of the proper tools and procedures for saving me from wasting a lot of time has been very helpful.
I am a senior citizen and the less I have to handle the inventory the better. That’s one of the best suggestions I took away from the book. Thank you, Mr. Mould
