Getting into the libraries is also huge! For me, if I don't see the book in the library, I dismiss the title. Great info. here!! I was always just doing it the Andy Warhol way.. he took 'Interview' his magazine, around in person to various stores and probably printed them up himself.

I emailed the B&N store that is the nearest to my home and asked them to stock my book. They did. I saw it with my own eyes and it was a treat. I don't know how many in stock they had but the gentleman appreciated my taking the time to go in to the store and said he would read and promote my book. Sometimes just a good reason and a kind soul make the difference. My heart will always belong to B&N in Augusta, Maine.

He's had too many books returned that were pretty much destroyed by being on display there - spilled coffee, torn pages, etc. The books were better off being sold elsewhere.
