try sites like etsy or a blog, and to get a larger stock of books try goodwill and other used book stores or even some antique shops

Use different category of books. Classics, contemporaries, science books, litereature, etc.

Ideally, for such a task you would need server-side scripting, such as perl, cgi, php, asp, etc.. This would be for automating your site as much as possible and for also creating viewer interactive sessions. Even if you don’t know web-programming, you can download free scripts from certain sites such as. All you need to know is basic HTML and then you can add such scripts into your web pages. However, you will also need a web server which provides the programming platform. Example, if you want to run ASP scripts, then your web server should be an ASP server. You can run a search on google for free ASP web servers. You will get good results.

On the other side, you can also choose to make your site static and not dynamic as it is with programming. That way you won’t have the automated and interactive website we have been talking about, but at least your website will be short n simple to the core. With basic HTML you can create basic web pages listing your books and their prices. Also showing your e-mail address or Phone number for customers to contact you to make the deal.

Alternately, you could also create a blog. This would be perhaps the simplest method of showcasing your books. However, it wouldn’t appear too professional as in a business perspective. But it works. You can try.

Good Luck!
