About 40,000 people gathered in Omaha, Neb., over the weekend for Berkshire Hathaway's annual shareholders meeting, which meant that the Bookworm's owners, Beth and Phillip Black, had "a lot of work to do," Quartz reported. As the exclusive book provider for the meeting, the bookstore sells Warren Buffett's annual selection of books about him, Charlie Munger and investment.
Beth Black estimated the store does a month's worth of business in a day at the event, adding that for new titles she orders between 500 and 800 copies to sell onsite. In January, Phillip presents a list of proposed books to Buffett, along with a sales report from the previous year, Quartz noted, adding that Buffett "approves every title that the store sells at the meeting."
