Status Updates From The Specialty Shop: How to ...

Ugh, the timing of this book is driving me mad. For The Book Den, it references their "present location" in 1990, plus online/Amazon sales (definitely a 2000s thing), with marketing advice to promote your business in the yellow pages (as if) and local newspapers (lol).

I wasn't really expecting casual sexism littering a book about niche retail shops, but here it is... hire some attractive women to flirt with male customers to sell your products. Yuck. The copyright date is from 2007 but a lot of the information referenced is from the 80s. I'm pretty certain at this point that the book must be an "update" from a book published in the 80s. It's not much of one, though.
