Summary: Sell your stuff -- but do it right!
Review: I've been selling books for a long time -- offline and on. I've learned a lot by observing others, but it took too long to feel confident with how I choose books, offer, and sell them. Windwalker's book is more than a primer; it's a manual for all sellers. Even those with experience can and will profit by reading this. First, examine your motives for wanting to sell books online. Then, if this is truly a venture for you to pursue, see how to set up your business (or hobby, if that is your interest). Learn how to choose your inventory, what venue is best for your selling, what your payment options are, what preparations to make for taxes, and where to go for information, other readings that will be helpful. And learn some of the possible (even, likely) pitfalls. Sure, it is easy to 'sell your stuff'; anyone can do it. Once. If you want to sell regularly and over a long-term, it pays to gather all the advice and information you can early on in the venture. This book is a good place to start, or to come when things are not going as well as you hope. In full disclosure, Windwalker is a colleague and has been a friend since I emailed him asking for some online selling suggestions a couple years ago. His help then was the beginning of a fruitful and enjoyable correspondence, and consequently I had the opportunity to read this book in manuscript.

Summary: Fantastic
Review: If you are serious about selling books on Amazon and the other online stores you must read this book. If you consider online bookselling to be a hobby you should read this book. Even if you only sell the occasional book every few months or so you can still get some excellent information.
Mr. Windwalker didn't just write a textbook, he gives the reader something that is well written, entertaining and amusing.

Summary: Do It Now!!
Review: If you have ever had a passing thought about selling books online, either as a business, a hobby, or a decluttering project, do yourself a BIG favor, and read this book first. It's true that you can wade through lots of online Discussion Boards which contain the same or similar material, but Windwalker has shared his own experience in a thoughtful, conversational way, thus condensing the best of the online discussions to a short read. It's true that you can plunge in and learn by trial and error as many of us have, but the time and grief saved will more than pay for this book, plus you have the advantage of having your own reference work at your fingertips & can take it with you to read away from your computer. It's true that experienced book sellers may offer differing opinions on a few issues, but Windwalker's ideas and methods are tried and true, and offer a great starting point for examining your own strategies and business plan. It's true that the online bookselling arena changes rapidly, but I trust that we'll see regular updates and new editions because the author is passionate about books and bookselling.

Summary: Save Yourself $25,000 Or More.
Review: If you have your heart set on opening a bookstore of your own, read this book first. It will save you the $25,000 or more that you WILL lose in that bookstore. How? By showing you how to sell books and actually make money doing it. I know I've visited many a bookstore that have only hung around a few years until they went under. But now with Amazon these same bookstores are staying in business longer by doing what you should do, selling their books on Amazon. I just went into a small bookstore the other day and the owner said they sell 30% of their books on Amazon. From the looks of the empty store, I thought to myself that they should sell 100% of their books on Amazon. It would make them more money. This book not only tells you why you should sell books on Amazon, it tells you which books you should sell, where to get those books and even how to sell them. There are no glossing over on the amount of work needed to make money doing this. I know after reading this any dream of making big money selling books online was pretty much beaten out of me. But that is what you want in an honest book; a no-holds-barred look at the work necessary to be successful.

Summary: Excellent Source for New Booksellers
Review: Mr. Windwalker is knowledgeable, and shares it in a fashion worth reading, especially for beginners like me. The author does not claim all knowing and recommend other books and websites to further your knowledge. Touches major aspects of Amazon selling, short and to the point. Simple Bookkeeping basics, packaging, customer service, book scouting,etc. The book feels like a conversation with a fellow bookseller who's sharing tips of the trade,. The rank of this book speaks for itself, one wonders why "so called know it all major booksellers" find time to write not so positive reviews, instead of writing their own book. It is absolutely the book to have if you are starting a bookselling venture with Amazon. What can go wrong? You can always resell it, it is quite in demand!

Summary: Tips for everything you can think of and then some!
Review: Oh, how I wish I'd had Stephen Windwalker's book when I first started selling books online!! Actually, it's a dream come true. I used to sit around and say, "Gee, I wish someone, an experienced seller, would write a book about this." This book really and truly eliminates guesswork about how to sell, the ins and outs (believe me he thinks of everything!). I especially like the section on the myriad places online that a seller can sell! I felt like a kid in a candy store when Windwalker's book arrived. He will tell you things that no one else will about selling online, things you really want to know if you're even halfway considering selling books online. Do you wonder where to get books to sell? He will surprise you with his suggestions. One favorite section is where he gives you the e-mail addresses for shipping carriers, bookselling venues, shipping supplies (that alone has saved me money already). This is a very fun business. One of the things I like about it is the nice people you interact with, book buyers and sellers like Stephen Windwalker.He writes in a friendly style--you definitely "get it" that he genuinely wants to help you and see you succeed, and he goes into a lot of detail in an organized manner to help you do just that. It's a must-have book, I think, for the novice as well as seasoned seller. This book is VERY comprehensive, easy to read, it'll inspire you to sell books and tell you step-by-step how to do it successfully!
