Smaller booksellers
uncover their niche
■ What they lack in mass
volume, independent
booksellers make up for
in the size of their selection
By Suzanne O’Kelley
for the Emerald
Since their onset, the success of
chain bookstores such as Barnes &
Noble and Borders has been a call to
arms for small, independent book
shops. In 1997, a new contestant ar
rived in the form of Amazon.com,
Jeff Bezos’s bookseller Web site.
Eugene booklovers have watched
several local stores close their doors
during the past 10 years, but most
have continued to succeed.
Refusing to be submerged in the
“new economy” wave, independent
booksellers in Eugene have adapted
and strengthened their offerings to
appeal to buyers in ways the larger
corporate stores can not. Whether it
be excellent service, out-of-print
books or large holdings in certain ar
eas, each local store offers something
unavailable at large chain stores.
Many consumers overlook the
benefits of local booksellers in fa
vor of a discount, a broad selection
or convenience. But independents
offer more to the community than
a cute storefront and a knowledge
able staff.
Marc Weinstein, an assistant
professor in the Lindquist College
of Business, said that local stores
are often in areas of low economic
activity, forming a base for other
merchants to rally around. Take
downtown, for example.
Despite efforts to revive the area,
relatively few stores have managed
to stay in business. Yet Emerald
City, Hungry Head, the Bookmark,
Smith Family and J. Michaels have
all continued to draw humble Eu
gene residents in. And, while a dol
lar spent on Amazon.com goes di
rectly to Seattle,-money spent in
Eugene stays in the community.
“Anytime you spend money in a
business that is not locally owned,
it ends up elsewhere,” J. Michaels
owner Jeremy Nissel said.
According to the American
Booksellers Association, the com
bination of big national chains and
Internet bookselling sites have put
almost half of the mom-and-pop
book stores out of business since
1994. In 1999, almost 1.1 billion
adult-consumer books were sold in
the United States, of which inde
