Are you rich already? These are even less viable than regular bookstores today. I've had a few conversations with people that own such shops and they always seem to be bleeding out the family trust, year by year.


Yes, but we are speaking of a world without computers; without computers (and the 'net) used bookstores would be quite viable.


I worked part time as a volunteer for a used bookstore once that was run by the public library. All profits from the bookstore get put back into the library and all full time workers were library employees who got paid from them.
