So I thought maybe economies of scale would work, and I tried to find a distributor who was willing to make low profits on high volumes. > …I paid VAT [value-added tax] and all taxes upfront. I am able to support booksellers like Alois at Avondale Books, and individual sellers in the townships. > I have no desire to profit from this at all. I want only to cover the costs of bringing the books in, and to make up my royalty, which I had to give up to benefit from a discount. The books are available at Alois Books at Avondale flea market Beauty Box of Ballantyne Park Blackstone Books Bond Street Shops (Mt Pleasant) Blackstone Books (Sam Levy’s Village, Borrowdale) Harare City Library Kiki’s Gallery (Umwinsidale) Mustard Seed Africa (Mt Pleasant) National Gallery Bookshop Weaver Press (Emerald Hill) More: Newsday _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
