How to start? - DIY!

I started my bookstore with very few books, a low budget and no inventory in the room where I was going to set up the store. But still I was determined that there was going to be a bookstore! Luckily, in our backyard we have a lot of crap lying around, and as it turned out, a few treasures also. And so I started building my first bookshelf with old cement blocks and wood I found in the backyard. After a few coats of varnish I think it turned out to look kind of antique style, which I love! 

First things first...

To be able to open up a bookstore, or do anything at all, there are people around you that help you, support you and encourage you. Opening up the bookstore without these people wouldn´t have been nearly as easy and fun as this process has been for me. So before writing anything else on this blog, I have to thank all these wonderful people.
