Talk to People Who Are Already in the Business
If you are seriously contemplating launching a home and hobby bookbinders business, the next step is to learn from folks who are already in business. If you think your local competitors will give you advice, you're being overoptimistic. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.
However, a fellow entrepreneur who has started a home and hobby bookbinders business in a location that is not competitive to you may be willing to share their entrepreneurial wisdom with you, after they realize you reside far away from them and won't be stealing their local customers. In fact, they are often very willing to share startup advice with you. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.

Why Buy a Home & Hobby Bookbinders Business?
As a rule, would-be startup owners are better off buying an existing home and hobby bookbinders business. So why should you pin your entrepreneurial dreams on buying a home and hobby bookbinders business?
The availability of acquisition capital should be a major factor in your decision. Commercial lenders are usually more inclined to fund acquisitions than startups.
Although there are a lot of factors to consider, the decision to buy a business to get acquisition capital almost always pays off.
Don't Rule Out Franchising
The probabilities on your being a successful business owner are much better if you buy a franchise in lieu of doing everything yourself.
If your goal is to start a home and hobby bookbinders business, a smart move is to investigate whether there are good franchise opportunities available that might be the right move for you.
