Book bits.

Funny animal books always sell.

Used poetry books sell like crazy, new poetry books not so much.

Good, quality Children's chapter books sell almost immediately.

Almost all art and/or coffee table books have a bit of scuffing or dings...must be why we get them.

There is a constant call for basic addiction books.

"How to" save a marriage books sadly come into the store in clumps.

There is a "How to" Christian book on every conceivable subject. Brighter teeth, skinnier bods, and fluffier hair.

Quality cook books and gardening books come in more than I'd expect.

There is a very fine line between pop psychology books and new age books.

Too many sports books.

Western books sell very well -- must be the only media left where they are strong, but it doesn't matter how old or beat up the book is.

Science Fiction readers read lots of S.F.

Romance readers read lots of romance.
