Did you have any mentors in becoming a bookseller?

My Father was my mentor, he loved books with a passion, he could speed read when he wanted to. I remember he had a library of books in his den. Each and every book he had in his library he read. I remember the smell of the book when i walked in and how i loved it. Father taught me each and every book is a journey, an adventure into someone's heart. From then on I love books and will pass on the love to my children.

What's the most amazing book you've ever sold?

Still in the process. I think it will be my first book, it has to be. :)

What is your favorite part of being a bookseller?

Knowing that my father is helping me give a gift to someone else because when the buyer receives the purchased book they not only bought a book they bought a piece of someone's dream, someone's heart, the author of the book.

Do you have an open storefront or have you in the past?

No i have not.I hope to one day

What do you personally like to read? Collect?

My favorite books are books on the paranormal, i believe i love them because they hold a mystery to the question we all have deep inside. Which is, " Where do we go when we are no longer needed on this earth", and because i like a good spooky book scare from time to time.

What's your favorite book you personally own? Would you sell it, if the price were right?

The Predictions of Nastrodamus

What one book would you buy if price were no object?

The first book of Bay Psalms Book printed in America

If you were stranded on a desert island and could bring three books, what would they be?
