Like last year, I opened the shop a day early to try and
capture some of the pre booktown frenzy and not surprisingly I did manage to do
this. The theory was and still is, to
accommodate those booksellers who like to peruse other booksellers stock so as
to embellish their own stock and indeed the first sale of today was to a fellow
bookseller… who of course asked for a discount (they didn’t get one*). After that though everyone else was a shopper
either trying to get in a day early or wanting to get an idea of what tomorrow will
be like… and being one of the few premises open and ready for business, these
people spent. So today has been a good
prequel to our busiest days of the year. It will be an early start in the morning and I
am ready. Bring it on.

* But I did
indicate 10% discount was possible on purchases that total $100 or more... an offer they politely declined.
