It occurs to me that book selling in the 18th century style would be interesting, given that they would be luxury products. Things like negotiating with fussy customers, meeting with other booksellers in fact coffee shops to set prices, racing to estate sales and defunct private libraries to acquire trigger of books- in order to destroy them to maintain high prices....

In fact, translating James Lackington and "The Temple of the Muses (the predecessor to modern bookstores(, who scandalized his letters by offering *gasp* fixed prices for books would make for a fine cozy fantasy. Pity this book isn't it.
