Is a used book store a good business?

@Keraunos Used book stores were VERY lucrative until the internet

Could be true, for all I know. They're still pretty fun to visit. If they've been around for a few decades, you can find a lot of weird shit in them, including things that are just not available on Amazon and probably never will be. They remain actually useful sometimes, while places like Barnes & Noble serve no real purpose except as a catalog to browse and compile a shopping list for later purchase on the Internet, where anything you saw on the shelves can almost invariably be found for half the price.

@Keraunos I remember good used book stores when I lived in Arizona. You're right, many books won't make it to the internet.

@GunSmoke9 but there aren't enough to pay the rent in a retail space
