With the introduction of the convoluted system on a broad basis for us booksellers also associated with a reorganization of the practical work .
(curious observation on the edge: There is there will be a throwback to the working methods of the average antique book before 40 - 50 years - I have exactly 50 years ago my first independent book purchase made by individuals, a potato sack with books on the shoulder, that. all by bicycle. That the seller, a nice older lady in a posh district of Freiburg, then calculated the leading Cultural editor of our paper was, mine has earned it a gloss, "the young antiquarian Obersekunda with potato sack" or something like that. At that time, gabs still real long feuilleton, a now almost vanished art. I was ridiculed then far to the student so that, for the few Freiburg booksellers knew me of course. - But they were good books, Expressionist literature, first editions and such. I had paid 60 DM end of the detour.) Ordered the Neuankauf
The antiquarian in the input stage as then. We always had the "auction entitled" weeded out. These were then called " for the glass case ," the only good customers in the store were allowed. And because every antiquary, even the smallest shop mate, making the catalog dreamed were also one or two "special areas" sorted out now, not by value but by theme. The lists and catalogs making time was a prestigious thing, who brought the ready, which rose in standing with customers and colleagues, and indeed it was before there were the first typewriters shy Composer features, a tedious affair. From her money because of the print postage but not unrealistic.
auction title and eligible for special field are sorted out. Now it is the antiquary, we are still not in receipt of the collation new purchases, otherwise as in the "Verwurfabteilung" of a letter or parcel sorting old style - we have a Billy, better rebuilt Sten shelving system so that we have helped a little sorting table from our 50-80 subject groups storage places within easy reach . This method produces a - solidly screwed together - all the shelves to the bench about three-or four-corner (watch out for the ground load). Probably everyone will prefer to sort in standing, so the desk should be here is small. Each "bin" should provide space for 10-15 title. When Billy or 2-3 most subjects each board, thus the shelf around. 15 subjects, 5 shelves are a whole should be so.
If the respective "professional" full, the stock in a "back bin " is born, which is then removed and such that there is room for 40-50 title of a subject area. The shelf space, we mark in the experimental phase until we have tried hard and fast rules, agile, with A4 sheets, which we in the shorter edge of one side about 2 cm buckle (the thickness of Billy and most boards) label, we they incurred in this 2cm-door number and the functional group, such as " 72 hunting, forestry, dog, horse .
who does not trust its publication, writes and prints the paper with Arial 24 point bold on laser off (because of water resistance), the first order stage with bright yellow, the second (re-defined) stage with lime green A4 paper. Bend as mentioned, the books are on the order paper.
If a region 15 - 25 - 30 tracks together, then made you a bundle. Some eliminated, another is double and is beaten to the next convolute. Also, you will not do different editions of the same work in a bundle. The convolute compilation requires, we said the last paper already, great skill and sensitivity. A clever and it is above all factually correct combination for the sale, has the respect of his antiquarian knowledge or stupidity very quickly.
I have, apart from suspected cases, one had to write down the values of the individual titles and add. This is one Pi time together thumb, expects 30% of ZVAB value in the head, very roughly, is ready to convolute the price.
A serious word on the condition of title. The new system the customer to a much greater degree than previously reliant on the honesty and respect clear view of the antiquarian the state. Real defects is items can therefore be better not to convolute the. Particularly beautiful or slightly defective tracks with tight Stummelsätzchen you know how * will invite fresh "or" at the beginning of something foxing "- no more, and usually do not comment out the title.
Serial number of titles on offer is necessary. After my 45-second system, see the article by the day before, etc. are on GVK einzukopierenden title records, unlike earlier, excellent in most cases. The few exceptions can be seen almost always in the absence of the number of pages, then you write it-yourself. - Not good, the title shots of the Berlin State Library, the worse the German Library in Leipzig, but these two we can not use anyway. The catalog entries in ZVAB, although often more detailed and informative than the sober rule GVK recordings, etc., but they are largely random, disordered, in mostly an abomination to the user, will fly over the fast-clear title shots.
I have developed a scanning system that is based on the use of a fast-A3 scanner. In slant (diagonally right to the corners, otherwise naturally flat lying!) Can thus 4-5 tracks (cover) to scan part or all at once and in one picture. For details, in a further tutorial. However, it should be with image magnification, each book under the block scans for the customer in the plan clearly visible. But to 3-4 "to do" in a train with a fast scanner. No photos! works only way the new system!
back to order and storage. Previously, the title came to the basic order directly to the subject in the store, more or less well ordered only approximately, we wanted to not constantly "push". What is important now: The customer bought the time was mainly not all songs (we speak of cheaper books), but rather - - convoluted! 4, 5, and 10 titles in the bag that he got some with deep discounts.
was used to convolute the purchase in the medium and small bookseller not the exception but the rule!
We will then make back with our new method to a sales technique in the old shop bookseller until about 40 years ago was very common.
Conclusion: convolute purchases match very well the mentality of the typical book collector, a number of basic conditions will be respected.
