how about a catalog of books for a library.\nyou could include all stuff that you need like\n- Name\n- Author(s)\n- Publisher\n- Year of publication\n- ISBN\n- Number of copies\n- Issued copies/available copies\n\nThe best part is, a quick search through some site like Amazon can give you a lot of authentic data on this.

There are several websites that you can find rare or out of print books.  A couple would be alibris.com or abebooks.com.  These sites list books by booksellers all over the country and some internationally.

I'm not familiar with this author, but if you go to a Borders bookstore, they may be able to order books by that author without charging you for shipping.  They can also search for and order books that are out of print by a particular author.

If you want to publish your book at almost no cost whatsoever (no minimum number of books required to be purchased or printed) with a publisher that can help with getting the book sold by Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc., check out lulu.com

In your local library they should have something called the writers guide...in this there are all the magazines that accept contributions, what their requirements are and what and if they pay.\n\nThat is always a good place to start.

You get an account with book wholesalers such as Ingram Book http://www.ingrambook.com/ They have a page specifically for book sellers like you with the instructions on how to order from them and get an account with them http://www.ingrambook.com/new/booksellers.asp\n\nI also suggest you attend the Book Expo America http://www.bookexpoamerica.com/App/homepage.cfm?appname=288&moduleid=42 which is a major and definitely one of the biggest trade shows ever. Next year it will be in New York, so start making plans to attend. I attended this year's expo in Washington DC and all the book publishers big and small are represented in the expo. This is the best place to create accounts and meet book publishers.\n\nAlso, get a copy of the book Writers Market for listings of book publishers. Contact each individual publishers and create an account with them. For example, Time Warner Books (Hatchett Group) has a page on their website for Bookseller Services including their catalogs and backlists http://www.hachettebookgroupusa.com/catalog/index.shtml\n\nThe trade magazine Publisher's Weekly website has a list of important industry links http://www.publishersweekly.com/industryResources.html from publishing associations to publishing industry. \nhttp://www.publishersweekly.com/industryResources.html

Publishing companies do use readers.  Try sending them a few summaries of books you have read.

Do you mean "publisher"? You could prob. just get it published online. btw, I'm new to answers, and I was wondering if it really made a differance to you for me to be the first person to answer your question?

If you're in college, it's likely that you have access to subscription services like Literature Resource Center, which has a lot of information on authors. \n\nhttp://infotrac.galegroup.com/itweb\n\nyou have to have a password, though, which is issued by your school.

Go find out from a source.  Ask another book store manager in another town if you can shadow them for a day.

You have to pay if you "self-publish," but if a publisher wants your book, they pay you!\n\nSubmit your book to different publishing houses and see what happens!\nGood Luck
