The remodel of Baker Book House has slowly gotten started. Like any other large project it has taken a little bit to get in motion, but now it is starting to move right along. We are in the process of moving the used book department, which contains over 90,000 used books. Most of which are very heavy, I know I have been helping them move them and go home at the end of the day very tired.
The fun thing about moving the books is the chance to see what people have written about over the years. Some of it is very important to know and understand, Bible commentaries and studies of Prayer etc.., but then there are others that are very dated and I really don’t see who would be interested in that topic any more. A book about woman’s place in the home really did make most of us laugh right out loud.
There are old classics that we get request for all the time or beloved authors that someone read years ago and happen to just stumble on that certain book. I love being able to visit with customers who have found that type of book back there and personally I was able to buy a book for my mom a few years ago. That was very exciting as it was from one of her favorite authors and she had never read it before.
Used books are a wonderful thing to be able to share with others, but they are not the easiest thing to move.
Happy Reading.
