Slowly, ever so slowly, the books move to the shelves

The 5 million, 348 thousand, 561 books (or some number like that) are slowly moving onto the shelves. Some that I put out last week, have already sold. The record was To Kill A Mockingbird; it took only 1/2 hour from shelving to sales. Now the store has no copies of that book, again. Arthur Miller's The Crucible took about 5 hours to sell and now that is out of stock again. You gotta love the Honors English class; they come to buy good classics. A very scholarly Bible commentary that I bought last week and got on the shelf late yesterday just sold (at a bit short of noon today). Fast turnover is good. But it is also good when a book that has been here for years, finally sells.

Sci Fi & Fantasy books

Finally, I have completed the shelf shift necessary to get the new-to-the-store Sci Fi and Fantasy books up off the floor and onto shelves. I had box loads of both and had to do a major shift to get them all up. Some are old books and some are more recent releases. It was good to get such a major haul of these books.

New Paranormal Section

I have moved books around again and created a paranormal section for fans of that genre. It includes Anne Rice, Sherilyn Kenyon, Christine Feehan, and all others who write Paranormal Romantic Suspense or Paranormal Mystery (like Charlene Harris) or any other form of Paranormal Fiction.
