Book piles in Yerevan streets and crossings attract people’s
attention. Our reporter tried to find out whether book selling is
profitable nowadays.
Most booksellers confess that they sell their own books as they cannot
afford their bare necessities. "I have neither a job nor relative. I
pay 500 AMD for the place," says bookseller Anahit.
Still, there are people who have turned book selling into a profitable
business.
We keep in touch with our clients. They often ring us up and we fetch
the books from their homes to sell here. I don’t pay for the place and
mainly sell special literature, said a bookseller at "Yeritasardakan"
metro station.
Though many are content with book selling, the polling revealed that
books are not a trustworthy source of income as there are few buyers.
