Ozrural - Horses, Farming and Chat

In a digital age, there is still something wonderful about a book. A book is so tactile, so real. I love the smell of a new book, even the weight in my hand. I work full time in town, but horses, farming and books are my passion. Occasionally I take books to an event, but mainly I just sell them online. I get a bit precious about them sometimes. As a book seller it is best not to collect, or you would finish up not selling any. But selling online, means I don't always list books I like to have around. How silly is that? I get around to listing them eventually. So what are the most popular titles? I only sell non fiction as that is a big enough job without getting into fiction as well. I do have a weakness for Silver Brumby Hardbacks, and they are my only exception to the no collecting rule. In horse books, massage, veterinary, dressage, natural horsemanship and training are very popular. I don't sell a lot of showjumping books. A friend once joked it was because show jumpers were too busy partying to read, but I wouldn't know about that. Rural books are more fadish. There is interest in all of them, but as an industry is popular there tends to be a rush on those titles. Weeds are big at the moment; and horticulture; and cattle; and any book that is out of print. So whatever your interest is please share it with us, or perhaps write a review of a book you have really enjoyed.
