Text: Bay Area Book Business For Sale, $20,000.00, stock extra.
The facilities of the Pratum Book Company, established 1981 are for sale. Complete book store and internet warehouse set-up for sale, includes lease and fixtures. Situated in a large open planned space with 17’ beamed ceilings located in a very central location (30 seconds off both 80 and 580, ten minutes from North Berkeley), comprising a 900 sf warehouse plus three room suite of offices (about 600 sf), plus a 600 sf loft and storage area and secure equipment closet. There are 600+ 30” shelves of beautiful custom pine shelving, stained and finished, that can hold 18,000 hardcover books (or about 40,000 volumes if a mix of hardcover, paperback, and pamphlets), with plenty of room to expand. The whole space has recently been renovated with new carpet (with thick fiber pad), new floor in loft, new paint, new electrical outlest throughout the space, and new DSL wiring and cat5 networking cables (networked for four stations). The office & shipping rooms are equiped with everything that is needed, packing equipment, three scales, Pitney Bowes meter, Bookhound software (the finest bookselling software for mail-order shops), the latest credit card processing equipment, phones & fax machine, printer, ladders, tables and chairs, etc & etc, with reserved parking right in front (with plenty of extra parking right next door). Great lease and landlord (85 cents p/sf), Big display/shop windows. Priced at below actual cost of equipment (I have all the receipts for work done). One year advice and goodwill included.
Additionally there are 50 book cases with 300 shelves that have been cut but not assembled that can hold an additional 10,000 hardcover volumes. Space has the potential to hold on shelves 50,000+ hardcover volumes, many more in boxes.
Located two minutes to both San Pablo and Solano Avenues with a bounty of some of the best East Bay restaurants and shops, plus the El Cerrito Plaza. We are one minute to the trails at Point Isabel Regional Shoreline Park and Albany Hill Park, and only 15 minutes to San Francisco, San Rafael, and Oakland during non-rush hour traffic
Goodwill is based on the distilled experience of 25 years full time in the business, (no trust fund, no rich wife, no real-estate portfolio, just hard work and devotion), dealing in both new books, (including scholarly books from around the world), and old & rare books.
