Do publishers have to pay bookshops for authors to do signings there, or is it all free to help the shop get more customers?

So I decided to add a little “inspiration space” into my bookstore where people can basically chill and read stuff, I have to sell them hot beverages!

What kind of coffee machine should I buy for a small bookshop (about 1300 square feet) and I have 4-5 coffee tables sitting around.

I’m looking for DURABILITY and GOOD PRICES.. :)
Thanks!!

I saw it in a second hand bookshop & stupidly didnt pick it up, now I cant find it & cant find any results on the net. Anybody heard of it or know the author?

I feel like I’m getting a bit old for some of my Young Adult books I find on the shelf and I want to start trying some adult books, but I don’t really know where to begin.

In bookshops and libraries the adult section is always ten times bigger than the young adult section, so does anyone recommend any good authors that a teen might be interested in?

My favourite genres are romance, adventure and thriller, but I’m open to just about everything.

Thank you!

Buying books from bookshops?

Yes of course we all do but don’t bookshops price themselves out of the market at prices that don’t make sense anymore? We saw a gem of a book yesterday in Waterstones (UK) cover priced at £20. So we went home and sourced the same book for £12.50 on Amazon, brand new, free delivery. So why don’t traditional bookstores discount all cover prices? I am sure sales would soar if books were not priced to scare people off …….. your thoughts please?
