After a successful weekend at the Boston Book Fair, Ken joked to a friend of the shop that the fair wasn’t perfect: we didn’t sell all the books that we brought. Which raised the interesting question: what do you do with the books that don’t sell? Join us for a look at the Brattle lifecycle: the journey of a book from inside the shop to the outdoor sale lot, becoming less and less expensive until it arrives… hopefully into the hands of a loving customer! It’s a challenge to bring in fresh books every day without ending up buried in them—you can help by visiting us on West Street and taking a few (dozen?) home with you.
