I like to read.
My wife brought a few into the mix too, as did my children when they arrived.

Selling a Book?
First Steps
To start selling your book, verify the tome is in a suitable state for reading.
Any books you wish to sell should be in as good a condition as possible.
If they’re dusty, wipe them down with a dry cloth.
before you roll researching prices, group your books into two piles.
One will include all titles with an ISBN code, the other all those without.
In most cases, the pile with the ISBN codes will be the bigger.
What Is an ISBN Code?
In the vast majority of cases, the ISBN can be found on the back cover of a book.
Japan, meanwhile, uses the JAN system.

Shipping
For the best results, offer your book’s shipping viaUSPS Media Mail.
The reason for doing this is simple: if you don’t, someone else will.
In other territories, look for a local budget postage option to similarly entice buyers.
Lots
Three books by Ian Fleming, listed separately, might take a while to sell.
Three books by Ian Fleming listed together in a single lot, however, can sell a lot quicker.
