Though www.thebookcart.ca (accessible in the menu to the right) is still the definitive place to go for any Book Cart news, I couldn’t refrain from sharing this exciting tidbit:

The Book Cart is receiving its first shipment soon! Our first order has been confirmed with Partners West, with another larger order soon to arrive from Random House!  These orders contain such interesting titles as The Walking Dead Compendium Vol. 1, the Dark Tower series, and JPod.

The Book Cart’s website will soon undergo major changes that will introduce a whole host of great features. Some of the more notable structural changes to the site include its own hosting and online shopping.

In the meantime, The Book Cart constantly offers great books, including those catered to university students in particular. We recently released an offer to UofT English undergrads for cheap, brand new texts, and a similar amazing offer will soon follow for York students. Be sure to keep posted!

Though I don’t know if The Book Cart venture is “profitable”, it is exciting and worthwhile for me because it allows me to do something I love (handle a lot of books on a regular basis) and share things I love with others. I hope you can make use of it and enjoy it as much as myself.

It is my great pleasure to announce the launch of the new, independent boosktore, The Book Cart!

The Book Cart is a mobile bookstore that brings great literature directly to our customers. We sell new releases, classics and community work from a variety of publishers.

As a result of its mobility, The Book Cart adapts to a variety of environments and, as a result, is a rich addition to a variety of vendors and venues. We offer the community great prices, regular access to new titles, and the enjoyment of a unique book browsing experience wherever they may be.

The Book Cart is armed and ready to collaborate with:

Authors: Whether you’re a new or established author, The Book Cart is an excellent outlet for your books. In addition to shelving your books, we can also work together to arrange publicity events and author signings. The Book Cart is perfect for authors looking to spread awareness about their work and boost their sales.

Residences: The Book Cart is a great addition to any residence’s schedule. We offer residents regular access to new titles and the enjoyment of a unique book browsing experience without the hassle of commuting. This service would be especially beneficial for those who don’t have the energy, time or means to travel to a bookstore. We also offer great senior services: an unmatched 15% discount on our already low prices and door-to-door visits for residents if particularly requested.

Coffee Shops: Food and books are a great mix. To take advantage of this excellent combination, The Book Cart can visit your business on a regular basis free of charge. Our visits will encourage new traffic to the establishment, proving to be a profitable partnership for all parties involved.

Students: Why go through the hassle of commuting to campus, walking up and down rows of bookshelves with a heavy backpack on your back, and searching out the various titles needed for a particular course? We at The Book Cart understand the plight of students, who need books quickly and at an affordable price. That’s why we build course packs with all required texts for students and for delivery or pickup for the most convenience. If you’re interested in this service, feel free to send us a note specifying your required books and we’ll get in touch with you!

Individuals: We at The Book Cart would be more than happy to fulfill your book needs. Looking for one book in particular but unwilling to go through the hassle of searching for it and paying higher prices? Send us a request and we’ll get the book for you!

We at The Book Cart would be more than happy to serve you. If The Book Cart is a service you may be interested in, or if you have any comments, questions or concerns, please feel free to learn more about us on the web and contact us via our website’s online form.
