    I'd own a coffee shop...because there would be no chance of me drinking up the profits (I don't like coffee).

    If I owned a book shop, I'd spend all of my time 'consuming' the inventory....;-D...

    Can it be both? lol

    Probably the book shop.

    Mostly because I love books, and coffee shops (and food service places in general) have all sorts of health codes, food service laws, inspections, and other things that I'd rather not deal with. Book stores don't have to deal with any of that. Much easier :)

    Coffee shop, because you don't have to be too educated to run it. So I am not.... sorry.

    Books. The world can go on without coffee but if we didn't have books we would be back in the dark ages. Look how bad things are and we do have the books.

    Coffee shop. I ran a coffee mess when i was in the Navy. It was like a small store for snacks. We had Frito Lay chips(all types)sold for 10 cents. We had Hostess cakes and pies which sold for 15 cents. We also sold sandwiches. We had soft drinks in cans for 15 cents. Coffee was 5 cents for a 8 oz.cup. We grossed $11,000 on our best month even with the low prices.

    Well I love both, but I CAN live without coffee whereas if I had to choose something to take on a desert island, it would be books and more books. I have bookshelves all through the house crammed full of everything from graphic comic novels to gardening and cooking books. I wouldn't make any money from a bookshop - I'd spend too much time talking to people - but I'd be an extremely content bankrupt.

    Both, it is easy to combine them: a nice cozy bookshop that serves the best coffee in town. You buy your coffee, there goes the discount in your book purchase.
