Subject: Book List for NFLC
Hello Rick and Jay,
Attached is a first pass at a book inventory we could have at NFLC. Besides putting good resources in professors hands, we feel we can net $2000 to $4000 by running this store ourselves.
What titles would you add and/or delete, knowing we need to limit our inventory? The 60 titles I have listed may be too many. Please suggest titles you feel strongly about that ought to be on this list but aren't, or that are listed but you would like removed.
It's hard to determine what is crucial for us to carry--I know we want them to represent who we are and what we do, and books we believe professors need. Some observations and considerations on this list:
1. The plan is to keep what we don't sell, and try to sell them via the Faculty Commons online bookstore/resource center http://clmstore.stores.yahoo.net/
Peter and Mauria favor this plan and tell me we get some traffic and make a little money on the online bookstore. But if you don't like this plan, we can ship books back and pay a small re-stocking fee (and be more careful to not order too many in the first place).
2. If the Source column states "Office," that means we have the books here already--they are inventory for the online store. The # column is how many we have here, and ultimately this column would be used to record how many of each title we decide to obtain.
3. Don't get hung up on the Category column. That was just my attempt at thinking about different type of books and how we might group them on tables, but it is certainly not hard and fast.
4. The Basis column is how much we pay wholesale for the book. The Amazon column is to see what their price is. We will have to determine our Sell price, about 20-30% off retail, but this depends on how good of a deal we would get on the wholesale price.
5. We have asked Glen and Barb Leckman to head up the obtaining of these books and the bookstore operation. Bonnie is supervising them. Once we finalize the inventory list, they will begin serious investigation with Spring Arbor and other sources, including the publishers, to see where we should obtain each title, depending on their wholesale price and their shipping and restocking fees.
6. Paul Konstanski will be our consultant on running this store. He has advised us already and will continue to do that.
