Running a bookstore on wheels means solving problems most booksellers never face: permits, vehicle builds, tight layouts and where to park. The Mobile Bookstore Society is a free online community where people doing the same work can compare notes.
Members run trolleys, converted vans, trailers, vintage campers, popup kiosks and book trucks, and many are just starting out. Conversations cover vendors, building techniques, layout and lessons learned the hard way. Over 150 people are already sharing what has worked for them.
