The Books That Sell Out Fastest at Used Bookstores
[via Book Riot]
A funny thing about working at a used bookstore is that there is only so much control you have over your stock.
Sometimes a book piles up for years only to sell out in a week when a popular radio show mentions it.But
there are some books that stay constant. Some books, despite being
published decades ago, still can’t seem to stay on the
shelves.
