assuming 5% net profit

and an average book price of ?20 for hardbacks, then that's like approximately around roughly, a lot of books. divide that a lot of books by an average working days per annum of 252 then this equates to exactly 'quite a few books' that you will need to shift per day.

then there's the overheads to factor in, let's assume that your overheads are going to come in at precisely 'a fair old wedge' then this ramps up the 'quite a few' books to 'quite a a lot' of books per day.

for that reason, i'm out.
