>My face when OP think he can open up a bookstore that won't tank within a few years.

Sorry dude, but as others have poined out - you don't stand a chance, unless you live in a somewhat affluent place, in the middle of nowhere. Independant bookstores - hell even huge chains such as Borders are losing money hand over fist, due to Supermarkets (especially in the UK, though I'd imagine it's the same in America) selling 'popular' - i.e books most peeps want to read, books, for next to nohting, and online stores such as Amazon, having a huge selection to cater for pretty much everyone else.

>My face when OP thinks he can realistically open up a book store that won't go bankrupt within a few years.

Sorry, but the points others have made are, sadly true. Unless you live in a somewhat affluent area, in the middle of nowhere, you don't really stand a chance.
