Looking at you

I was asked recently if the bookstore is fulfilling in the ways I expected when we started Redbery Books nearly five years ago. It was a heady question and caused me to pause before answering, not because it hasn’t been fulfilling. That’s an easy one. Yes, it has. Instead, it took me back to all the reasons Redbery Books was launched. Looking for a new challenge, a creative outlet, and an opportunity to grow were items on that long list. So how am I doing? Check here for a regular update on how that’s working out for me.

The challenge of pricing with the big guys has always been a challenge. We know we can’t compete on price but we feel the shopping local experience has a lot of value added. That's a topic for another day. And to those who wonder if Redbery Books is shopping at the big guys and reselling locally. There are several reasons not to get into that game but being able to look my customers in the eye is a big one.
