Welcome to Independent Study with the Professional Booksellers School

What will you find here?

We offer an ever-growing list of classes on skills and topics booksellers need. Most classes are $65, which grants access to view the recording for 30 days, along with any downloadable handouts. 

We also have the option to take our entire courses on your schedule, either for credit or for self-study. Currently Basic Bookselling is available, with Inventory Management coming soon.

And if you're looking for staff development, we offer a Basic Bookselling Store Subscription. For $350, you'll access to all 9 classes for unlimited staffers for an entire year.
