That's an incredible point to bring up. I present the thoughts above as common inspiration but clearly there are questions like the 1 you bring up where essentially the most essential thing might be working in honest great faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around items like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Each boys and girls really feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives. You’ll find certainly lots of particulars like that to take into consideration.

One of my problems is I physically can't get out and about as much as wish. However, I'm still making it to festivals and such. When I go (and pay for booth space), I take copies of every book we have out. More sales are made through those than any other place. http://vivianzabel.blogspot.com A local bookstore works with us, in fact I need to take some more copies of 4RV books to them.

We have a great independent book store in Montrose as well as a Country Store that sells books. However, I think we still have to get out on the groups and use "high tech" to sell out books!!

Many bookstores, at the very least, have a section for books by local authors. However, I never see picture books there and I have yet to figure out all the loopholes to get mine there. Independent bookstores are great about carrying at least a few copies of a book by a local author. The problem is, independent bookstores are a dying breed. I wonder what it would be like if there were bookstores exclusively for books published by small presses? I also think they should be.
