Hi all.

This is a very interesting thread.

Anyway, I'll go for online business.
There are of course pros and cons doing online business but I'll list down my points:-

Pros:

- The cost to start the business will be much cheaper
- It's easier to manage your store
- Save a lot of time - work at home
- Business conducted 24/7
- Your store can be accessed from all over the world

Cons:

- It's going to take some time before you gain trust from your customers - testimonial
- Shipping can be very risky and costly
- You might work too much - simply because you can work almost everywhere

There are maybe some other points too.

So molly, if you're going to open your own bookstore soon, I wish you all the best!

Cheers!
