Despite countless economic recessions, bookstores have been stable. Here’s how much it costs to open that dream business.

    Depends on the size of the bookstore. ;)

    I was gifted a Little Free Library for my birthday. Total cost for the whole kit was about $800… Without books.

    I spent about another $350-$400 populating it, getting business cards, an Instagram account, etc.

    I’m not running it as a business, it is a Free Library after all, but I already have one bookstore donating stock in return for cross promotion.

      This sounds really interesting. Do you have a link for your website, or your Instagram account?

        On instagram it’s @thebluehousepdx.

        I’m waiting on some last bits before it’s all set out.
