So here’s the deal. I love me some indie bookstores. I really do. I mean when I shop in bookstore it might be a chain or something but really I prefer to make a home at an indie bookstore where I get to know the folks who run it and really become part of a community. A bookstore community. I adore it.

So I talked to my publisher and we discussed our mutual love for these bookstores, because the guy is also rockin’ cool and we came up with a plan! A plan I say!

If you work for, frequent or love an independent bookstore near you and you think they might enjoy selling Stays Crunchy in Milk here’s the scoop.

The first ten bookstores I hear from (adampknave @ gmail.com) will get a free copy of the book, signed, to sell for full retail and keep all the profit. Hopefully, the idea is, they will want to order more. Perhaps they won’t. Maybe they get the book, sell it, and don’t give a damn. All right. I can live with that, because it puts a bit of money into the bookstore’s pocket.

If the bookstore is interested and close enough to make it feasible I also enjoy readings and such and can make all sorts of kooky events happen. I’m easy. So there’s that too. But the main idea here is simple.

What they get: A free signed copy of Stays Crunchy in Milk

What I want in return: A picture of the front of the store so I can post it. An address so I can post it and a picture of the book on shelves. This is so I can start a section of “Suggested retailers” on my site to promote each of these stores.

All I need is the name of someone at the bookstore to mail, who knows I will be mailing them about this, or for someone from the bookstore to mail me. Either way. Like I said, there are ten copies set aside for this so let me know!
