What books can you possibly sell in enough volume and at a high enough price that you'll reliably make rent on your brick & mortar store that a college student can't get for way loving cheaper on Amazon? College towns are the central locations of all ridiculous "indie" business ideas and the book industry is an ancient one. If nobody has an indie book store open in your town already, it's because it can't stay open.

Can you talk more about what equipment you think you need? Bookshelves, payment processing, places to sit... I'm sure I'm missing stuff.

wtf is wrong with you

I was wondering about that. I had to go back and re-read the thread thinking I'd missed something.

Nope, it's just creep factor out of nowhere.
