Depends on what the owner/manager will agree to.<br /><br />I also have a friend who sold a large number of books at a hardware/feed store in a small town here in Oklahoma. He said farmers would come in and say, 'I need 100 pounds of feed. Oh, and give me one of those books, too.'Jackie Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276062715832103428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-51672629447559053492012-02-21T18:32:51.912-06:002012-02-21T18:32:51.912-06:00I've done a couple in libraries, but honestly,...I've done a couple in libraries, but honestly, people who visit libraries check out books, not buy them. Considering the success Girl Scouts have selling cookies, I'm wondering if I should try setting a table up in front of a supermarket:)Mark W.

Personally, I would rather have tossed Moonpies.

It takes place in the quaint little town of Bell Buckle, TN and attracts thousands of visitors. One event is the Moon Pie Toss, where they see who can sail one the farthest like a Frisbee.Chester Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155257451021065218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-76522450676210102992012-02-20T17:26:36.079-06:002012-02-20T17:26:36.079-06:00That is so cool, Jackie.

You wouldn't think this would be a good spot, but in this lovely little N.E. Oklahoma town, everyone turned out for the signing, including their State Representative. <br /><br />The activities director had decorated the table with fresh flowers, made delicious punch and cookies. Sold a lot of books.Jackie Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16276062715832103428noreply@blogger.com
