I once rented a booth at a Farmer's Market - sold quite a few books, too - and I think I'll do that again this Spring/Summer. Seems that organic food lovers are also book readers, and they liked the idea of supporting a local artist/author, too.<br /><br />My two cents, lol. :)<br /><br /><a href="http://theoldsilly.com" rel="nofollow">Marvin D Wilson</a>The Old Sillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661188622348794193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11634512.post-35788764715954513762011-02-07T08:27:39.924-05:002011-02-07T08:27:39.924-05:00I like Twitter as my promo tool.
