The word is made up of 'Buch' (book) and 'Händler' (dealer / merchant). A 'Händler' is a person who trades in something or sells something. So a bookseller is literally a person who trades in books.
Der Händler auf dem Markt verkauft frisches Gemüse.
The vendor at the market sells fresh vegetables.
'Der Buchhändler' (the bookseller; the person) is closely related to 'die Buchhandlung' (the bookstore; the place). A bookseller typically works in a bookstore.
Ich gehe in die Buchhandlung, um ein Geschenk zu kaufen.
I'm going to the bookstore to buy a gift.
The phrase 'der Buchhändler meines Vertrauens' (my trusted bookseller / the bookseller I trust) is a very common and personal expression. It expresses that you have a special, positive relationship with a particular bookseller and trust their recommendations.
Dieses Buch habe ich auf Empfehlung des Buchhändlers meines Vertrauens gekauft.
I bought this book on the recommendation of my trusted bookseller.
