Definition
售书 means 'to sell books'. It is a separable verb (离合词) — the object 书 can be split off the verb 售 to insert quantity, measure words, or aspect markers (e.g. 售了十本书 'sold ten books', 售过一批书 'sold a batch of books'). You can also modify 售 alone with adverbs (不售书 'not sell books'), but the full phrase keeps the subject-verb-object structure intact.
