My favourite local is pretty successful. Less so now due to COVID but overall it's pretty great. It sells used books which it sources from estate sales, people dropping by and offering collections or libraries of deceased relatives, university libraries looking to downsize and the like. It's really nicely divided into large sections based on genre with one large wall for fiction alphabetized. Non-fiction is broad, has a lot of achitectural, design and art books. These are typically pricey so people paying $30-40 for a folio sized book that would normally cost $120. I love the place. Keen to return when lockdowns ease.

They also have a pretty sizeable online store with a warehouse to store it all. Half their day is just filling orders for pickup or shipping. Pic related is their cosy place.

Best of luck to you anon. Living my dream.
