Hey,

I have been meaning to get back to you from Day 1. It's a good question, and also thanks for your enthusiasm! I really doubt this will turn into anything much, though, tbh.

I have absolutely considered trying to get in at local art shows or fairs. I'm interested in doing so, because I honestly think I'll have better chances actually selling anything at face-to-face events with impulse and holiday/birthday present motivation driving on-the-spot purchases. However, I know for most fairs there is an entry or booth fee. I haven't taken the next step of finding out what fairs are upcoming and what the cost to become a vendor would be. I also am not sure if it might not be better to have multiple kinds of art products, aka stuff besides books, if I were to go that route. I'm not sure. i could always sell my paint-by-numbers.

The problem is that the income from each book sale isn't pure profit, so while I think you may be right that at a good fair I could net recoup my booth fees, I really doubt that I could gross recoup them and profit, unless I had significantly more stock than I do now, and maybe if it was a book or literary festival - themed, so the audience would be more likely to want artisan books. - Actually - that's not a bad thought.
