Elisa Saphier said she'd always planned on owning a bookstore, but wanted to wait until she retired. Then she asked herself, "Why should I wait? I want to do this now." Her new bookstore stocks mostly used fiction titles, featuring plenty of gamut-running genres (mystery, western, sci-fi, historical fiction, young adult, and biography), as well as a $1 shelf of deeply discounted reads. And while used bookstores are traditionally full of bargains, Saphier says she takes pains to keep her stock of 16,000-plus titles (and growing) affordable for both casual and avid readers alike.
