I must say that when I read The Long Tail by Chris Anderson I was excited by the notion that there could be so much diversity in products and demand. The concept is that when merchandising moves away from the limits of store shelves to the infinite shelf-space of the internet and searching, an infinite number of product variations can exist and be sold.
This exercise of selling media from our bookshelves has been quite the validation of that. Each day, Tori receives orders for between 2 and 4 books. I am also excited to note that our books have condensed to the shelves in just one room. I estimate that we not have about 60 linear feet of books on shelves.
I am most curious to see if the pace continues until all the books are gone, or if it tapers off. And if it does taper, which books will remain?
