I wasn't sure I'd be able to make enough money that way to justify the time I'd have to invest. It's good to see I'm not the first person who's had the thought and wanted to make the effort. =) <br /><br />One of the best ways to sell your books, selling more copies than some distribution channels do.Writer Tank (Jacob Duchaine)http://WriterTank.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-73917474392095550882011-04-15T11:52:58.925-07:002011-04-15T11:52:58.925-07:00Wow, very cool.

For book festivals, did you rent out a booth and get a permit or anything like that?<br /><br />Summer is coming up for me in Chicago and I'd love to spend some of it outside peddling my wares :).bryandavidcohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13967519214602261976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1311335624850028436.post-44431092499673902222011-04-13T17:50:02.420-07:002011-04-13T17:50:02.420-07:00You're absolutely right--we should be able to ...You're absolutely right--we should be able to hand-sell our books.
