Idea Exchange This Week

Every week dozens of booksellers seek and share advice and information about bookselling and the book industry on BookWeb's Idea Exchange Forums. Here, BTW presents a look at some of this week's topics -- with the hope that more booksellers will join in.

Among the topics that booksellers are discussing in the Bookseller-to-Bookseller Forum this week are:

• Creating a store website;
• An inquiry regarding Media Mail;
• A question about retail book inflation; and
• A thread concerning picking the right poetry books for teenagers.

In the Ask ABA Forum, there's a query about the bookseller directory on BookWeb; in the Inventory Control Systems forum, a bookseller has a question for Books-in-Store users.

The Idea Exchange Forums are open to ABA bookstore and provisional members only. (Booksellers who do not already have a BookWeb Account will need to create one.)
