In this context, it means "with individual attention." The bookseller talks to the customer about their preferences, suggests a title, finds the book and hands it to the customer.

It could have a literal meaning, selling them by-hand rather than on the internet. However, it's something not typically used. You 'hand-make' something but you don't normally hand-sell something. It sounds strange!
