Bear in mind, however, that both the bookshop on the corner and
corporations like Barnes & Noble will expect you to allow returns, offer
trade discounts, and work with a reliable
book distributor who has a history of longevity.
The majority of these
books got to bestsellerdom through Wal - Mart and Costco placement, and bulk sales to
corporations and
trade schools, etc. — I did not ask about Amazon.
