Help us buy a bookstore!
We are Christie Houston and Paul Swann - two book nerds from southern Ohio who are chasing a dream.
We currently buy and sell rare and antique books at For Words Sake / Book FTW! . We do quite well over there. But an opportunity to purchase an ACTUAL bookstore has just come up and all of our cash is tied up in inventory!
All we need to secure it is $1500. The rest will be used for inventory, managing, getting the required tax and business filings dealt with and just filling in the gaps while we transition to bookstore owner life.
Because we aren't really fans of just accepting handouts and charity, you get something for your donation! For the first $1500 of donations we receive, ou will get a book credit in the amount of your donation to use either in our eBay store or in the physical bookstore! For every donation after $1500, you will receive a book credit of 50% of you donation!
This has been a dream of ours since childhood and every donation - from 15 cents to 1500 dollars means the world to us. If you can lend money, but can't donate, please let me know. I am confident that we could repay any loan within 6 weeks!
