Complete systems for a brick and mortar consignment shop, well put together, organized, ready to implement. The focus tends toward clothing consignment shops (so glad I don't to that!) but there is still a lot any consignment shop can glean from it.

TGtbT The Manual was written by another Kate Holmes, that is, me LOL I wouldn't begin to know how to write a romance! My manual is out-of-print, but you can read more about consignment and thrift shopkeeping (and me) on my site TGtbT.com.
Now pardon me while I go find a bodice to be ripped.
