Chapter 9: Booktruck Reality with Hilary Atleo of Iron Dog Books

 

Every now and then you meet a fellow professional who understands the quirky, hard to explain nature of your business. From very early on in my booktruck journey, I met one such business owner: Hilary Atleo, owner of Iron Dog Books in British Columbia. Iron Dogs was the second bookshop on wheels in Canada, and I had the pleasure of meeting her and seeing how her business operated in real life. Today I am chatting with Hilary about why she does this crazy job, how it has changed since she began and why she chose to pursue an "immobile" bookshop at the end of last year. If you are considering a mobile business of your own, get out your paper and pen, make notes as you listen and compile your list of questions for mobile business owners in your town.
