Abebooks Moves into New Territory: Boris Wertz COO: Bookseller Audio Interview with Nigel Beale.
Victoria B.C. image from here
Abebooks is a great Canadian company, one that monitized the Internet early on in grand fashion. Although its founders were bought out by German interests several years ago I am assured by Chief Operating Officer Boris Wertz that it will remain headquartered happily in Victoria, British Columbia for years to come.
Boris and I met recently at BookExpo 2006 in Washington. We talk here about recent changes in Abe credit card policies and charges, efforts to expand both supply of esoteric new titles and markets for Abe booksellers, improving ‘findability’ and recent investment in librarything, a social networking site for bilbiophiles.
