The role of booksellers is, to a large extent, to promote the pleasure of reading and to share knowledge. Booksellers inform, give good advice and encourage interested readers, whether they are referring to books at the top of the bestseller lists or lesser-known gems.

As a bookseller, you could, for example, work in a bookstore, an antiquarian bookstore, at a book publishing company or in affiliation with book clubs or online stores. Alongside books for sale, related products are also often available, such as maps, photographs, souvenirs or gifts.
