By the Book: Books n Bobs

Having started selling books on Facebook in 2016, Rachel Ang expanded Books n Bobs to a full-blown website and even a physical store. We talk to her about how it all came to be, and how to sell secondhand books online in a way that readers want and appreciate. And then, on Footnotes, we discuss the closure of a major bookseller, Book Depository, and how it marks the end of an era.
