I just started my stint at an independent used/antiquarian bookstore in VT as the "Manager of Online Sales". It's not as glorious as it sounds because I'm the only one doing it :-p It definitely requires a lot of heavy lifting, packing, and the usage of sharp things. My office isn't even in the store, it's behind the restaurant next door in

Hmm...I'm not sure. We use it for Amazon, Abe, and Alibris databases.

It's a local database for booksellers. HomeBase is ABE's. I wish I could be be of actual use beyond that, but I use BookTrakker. :( Sorry.

Good luck on the new job. I'm sorry they didn't tell you about all the heavy lifting, that's one of the first things I tell perspective employees--well, that and about how dirty it can get. Books are quite heavy and can very dusty/dirty if not properly cared for...(she says while currently undergoing treatment for a bizarre blood infection from excessive mold exposure--and I won't event tell you about the "were-book" we found that had more "hair" than me. *shudder*)

A hairy book? You never told us you worked in Flourish & Blotts!

Ha ha! You would've thought so if you had seen it. My assistant kept pining for it in some masochistic fantasy, so I pulled it out of our poo-box (that's the techinical terminus for the books we are tossing) and she backed up in horror at the thought of once more being confronted with the "were-book" before I had even opened it to reveal it in it's true glory, despite the fact that she was the one that had expressed the desire to see it again.
