Carrying only a pre selection of books can be extremely tricky, unless you find a particular niche that’s in demand. That could be easier to do in big cities, but the problem there is that the costs are higher, which pressures the amount of monthly sales to pay rent, etc.
For experience running a comic book shop, I was selling a lot of stuff that I wasn’t particularly interested, but my customers liked. Now, it’s true that I had to close it after two years, but the interesting part is that it was really difficult to foresee what would be the best selling articles beforehand…
Of course, alongside, I was selling a lot of stuff that quite interested me. But I had to work on with the business hat on, more than with the fan hat on, if that makes sense
