Once the shelving was installed and all of the extra furniture had been bought, it was time to get the most important things for the store: books. An inventory specialist selected what would be needed to fill up the shelves with the best selections of mystery, science fiction, fantasy, and horror.
A little bit of underestimating left some of the shelves empty until more books could be ordered, but it was getting closer and closer to opening day and it was time to start setting up displays, selecting favorite authors, bestsellers, and new releases to showcase, and organizing everything so the store would be attractive and useful for customers.
