My site is focused on recommending books, not creating a generic bookstore. If you could talk to bookwise about building a sites around specific recommended books-- about 200-300 it might be better than a store. Blogs which include items for sale are not going to be structured the same as a generic bookstore, nor are most blogs going to need something like what Bookwise is describing. What I need to have is a recommendation style page which will feature-- click on the book get my comments plus picture.<BR/>An improved Amazon style picture link box. I would much rather not get sent to Powells or an affiliate site. A bookstore structure for blogs.Book Calendarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549140171632794868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205629115324669426.post-26038905791665557592007-12-26T08:42:00.000-08:002007-12-26T08:42:00.000-08:00Hi again,Not sure how long ago you may have looked...Hi again,<BR/><BR/>Not sure how long ago you may have looked at BookWise... but we are now supplied by Baker and Taylor.<BR/><BR/>By early spring we'll have direct access to about 1.5 million titles which is basically their entire inventory. <BR/><BR/>You're free to set up your business however you choose, whether as a hobby... a way to enrich other's lives through reading, or as an income center. <BR/><BR/>It's kind of like, what's not to love with their new expanded model. <BR/><BR/>Oh, all this was revealed on December 1 of this year.Shari Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383810146188428955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205629115324669426.post-85817773530898548742007-12-25T17:55:00.000-08:002007-12-25T17:55:00.000-08:00Honestly, if you have read my posts earlier, I am ...Honestly, if you have read my posts earlier, I am looking at something a bit bigger than a bookstore. I am interested in building something like a social networking site around books with a variety of features. I have looked at the bookstore idea and it wouldn't in terms of time and money pay off well enough financially. It might be fun, but fun doesn't pay the bills.Book Calendarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549140171632794868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205629115324669426.post-59844745154280155862007-12-25T14:52:00.000-08:002007-12-25T14:52:00.000-08:00I have seen bookwise.com, it is not to my liking. ...I have seen bookwise.com, it is not to my liking. I have looked at a number of different systems that might work, chrislands.com might work, so might booksense.com, or bibliopolis.com. If and when I am ready to start expanding, I will probably speak to these people and they will point me in the proper direction. There are specialty hosting companies which build online stores. I have an idea about some of the distributors. I have talked briefly with Koen and have some ideas about how Baker & Taylor, Ingram, and other distributors work. Right now, this still is a fun experiment which I will expand slowly.Book Calendarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549140171632794868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205629115324669426.post-50554601286888896742007-12-25T10:35:00.000-08:002007-12-25T10:35:00.000-08:00Hi there,The latest way to find books is by way of...Hi there,<BR/><BR/>The latest way to find books is by way of your own online bookstore.<BR/><BR/>When you own your own online bookstore, you get the "pick of the month", interviews with authors, multiple ways to interact with other avid readers, and even ways to "get that book that's inside of you" onto paper... and tons of other benefits, too.<BR/><BR/>I can show you how to do that, if you'd like.Shari Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383810146188428955noreply@blogger.com
