May 11, 2007 - With millions of people turning off their televisions and rediscovering the simple joys of reading, websites that sell books are turning a brisk profit.
People are also rediscovering that bookshelves can only hold so many books and when there are a number of people in a family that are avid readers, the books can stack up quickly creating clutter.
Very few people read books purchased for enjoyment more than once and after being read cover to cover most books become another item to dust in the house, because selling books to local bookstores can be a real hassle as books have to be separated and boxed,then taken to a local book reseller that may or may not purchase them. Many people just resign themselves to the fact they will have either extra bookshelves in their homes and more to dust or boxes of once read books in the garage.
Edward Szczepaniak noticed this dilemma and created an online forum that is solely for the buying and selling of books. People with ample supplies of books to sell as well as people looking for obscure and out of print books can buy and sell with ease.
College students and recent grads will find this service especially rewarding as many students soon find out, that the books purchased at the college bookstore will not always be bought back; soon a student can be out quite a lot of money and need more funds to purchase books for upcoming classes. The website offers the opportunity for the student to both make money selling their unwanted books as well as find the books they need at better prices than the college bookstore which will generally want to give the student far less for a set of books than the student originally paid for a single book.
Anyone that needs a little extra money will find a small fortune sitting on their bookshelves. People haven't cracked open the books on their shelves in over a year are encouraged to stop dusting them and make some money from selling those books.
