An academic bookshop is specialized on education material which is used in universities. They are able to search in databases from Springer and Elsevier for an article and it is possible to buy standard books from a subject. They are also offer conference procedings, from the last year. The customer gets usually 150 pages for 40 US$ which is very cheap. A rare proceeding will cost 100 US$ for only 50 pages.
In recent times, some customer are not aware what an academic bookstore is. They do not want to buy books, instead they are asking how they can create a profile with their name, photo and a list of publication. The problem is, that an academic bookstore was never invented to support such demand. It is only possible to buy printed books and ebooks too. It is not necessary that the customer gets his personalized profile page on the internet, because a bookstore is a place to buy information not to drop down a personalized marketing information.
