Tip Two
When you see your book forlornly cast upon the lower shelves or (heaven forbid) in a bargain bin, do not take it and place it strategically on the bestseller shelf. In front of Harry Potter and those damn sparkly vampires. And if a bookstore does not stock your book, please do not creep in there all ninja-like, putting free copies of your book on their shelves. When a bookstore says NO, they mean NO. And chaining yourself to their front counter, demanding that they stock your book - is not considered acceptable behavior in civilized circles.
