What is a “cash book” and what is a “store credit book”?
This is a subjective classification that varies from store to store. Determining a cash book vs. a store credit book is based on our knowledge of what we know sells and what we currently have in stock. This is something that constantly changes — books that are hot-sellers one month are not necessarily hot-sellers the next month. Books we consider definite cash books are ones that we tend to only have in stock as new (current editions of Lonely Planet travel guides, for example) or books that are highly unusual or are just right for our clientele. Mass market paperbacks — mysteries especially — are prime examples of a “store credit only” book.
