My name is Kevin DeMay.  Eight years ago, along with my wife Sue, we purchased a used bookstore that was small but had a brilliant system in place to assure profitability.  The concept of that system evolved over a dozen of years in business.  We took that system, expanded it, refined it, and turned that little book store into one of the largest and most frequented in Michigan.  Our profits have seen an increase every single month of every single year in comparison to the previous year -  even during this economic downturn.
Simply put, our system will help cut weeks, month, years off of your used bookstores quest for profiability.  We've done it, other new owners used our system and have done it; you can do it.  The secret is maintaining low cost, a consistent plan, and high volume of sales.  Anyone can talk about you what you need to do for success.
We tell you how.
