Member testimonials
‘Being a member of BookPeople is an essential for bookstore owners. There are many reasons for this such as the support and feeling of community as well as the amazing deals that BookPeople negotiate for us on monthly titles.
We have increased our GP margin by 2.5% since being part of the group, which is a great addition to our bottom line. But it is the support in terms of the people who are there when we need them that is the biggest benefit.
We couldn’t be without BookPeople as they are an integral part of our business’.
Chris Lysaght,
Owner and Store Manager, Viva Books, Busselton WA
