Nigerians are well read people and you see that from the level of interest they show in anything book. A full container load of used books can be sold within days and the profit margin is highly attractive.

1. Secure a Warehouse — Not necessarily a giant warehouse, just a large shop except you intend to import on a super large scale. The warehouse must be easy to access to the retailers who are your target customers. Make sure it is specious enough to accommodate your books and customers who will struggling most of the time to select the best books especially whenever there is new arrival.

2. Strategize Your Marketing — Talk to book retailers especially those by the roadsides in busy areas like Ikeja, Oshodi, and the rest. Let them know you import used books and once they know, they will be your regular customers. One thing good about the marketing is that you get to market twice, just once and they stick.

Anytime you have supply, just spread the news to them through BB broadcast or phone calls. They will even be calling you most of the times to know whether your goods have arrived.

3. Source Your Used Books — The easiest and probably the best place to source for your used books is eBay.com other websites that are very good in this regard are Amazon.com or Half.com which is also part of eBay. If you are in Europe or America, it will be easier for you to ask around and investigate the best sources.

Once you have these things in place, be ready to smile to the bank endlessly. The profit is the business is huge and guaranteed.
