 ST> We don't have anything like that. Although the other book store I am now
 ST> working in is on the Interlock System, matching rare books to people who
 ST> want them.
 IK> Interloc.  We do that too, jointly, with the Collectors Corner people.
 IK> The problem is that most people are just looking for reading copies
 IK> of books which only were published in paperback ... and won't be in
 IK> any dealers' inventory ... only musty old used book stores which
 IK> wouldn't dream of keeping an inventory much less making it available
 IK> on the Internet, etc.
Ah, but that is exactly what this bookstore is doing. It is a musty,
dusty place, with books on every available surface. Little by little we
are listing all these books on Interloc. (Guess I didn't know how to
spell it!)
 IK> Our store runs on BookLog (software).  It tracks total $ by customer,
 IK> last time in store, avg. sale, etc.  There's 100 people who make up
 IK> 40% of our business.  There's another 400 who make up the next 40%.
 ST> That is what we use at the other store I work at (Books Abound). At MMM
 ST> we use Anthology. There are MANY things about it I don't like.
 IK> Do you own a chunk of one store?
Nope. Wish I did. The owner of one sometimes talks about letting us buy
it on a land contract but I think he'd be lost without it.
 IK> What do you not like about Booklog?  My view is that it's the least
 IK> bad system available.  Also, there's a zillion versions, and people
 IK> complain in many cases because of what the older versions were like
 IK> and/or because they never upgraded.  
I love Booklog! It's Anthology I don't like.
