Bookstore

Helping orphans the way you would do it

A bookstore or bookshop is a retailer that primarily sells books. They can range in size from local shops offering several hundred titles to large brick-and-mortar chains offering upwards of 200,000 titles. Online bookstores may offer many times more titles. Bookstores often sell items related to books such as newspapers and travel maps. Colleges and universities often have their own student bookstore on campus that focuses on providing course textbooks. In addition, some on-campus bookstores may be owned by large chains such as Barnes & Noble.
