Description
The sections that flummox most booksellers — poetry, manga, humor —often have the most loyal customers. This session pairs publishers who specialize in niche categories with booksellers who have succeeded in making small sections work for their stores. Learn about turnkey solutions that take the guesswork out of buying, what merchandising strategies actually move titles, and how well-curated sections can make your store a destination for these categories.
