Book-Marketing Tip of the Day – May 24, 2019

Washington Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle loves to read, but couldn't find a bookstore near the team's facility in FL. According to the Wall Street Journal (May 24, page A12), "he vowed to seek out an independent bookshop on every road trip this year..." Doolittle was quoted in the article as saying, "I want to support local business. I want to support those places that are active in their communities, that are trying to be supportive and inclusive spaces for their communities." APSS supports bookstores, too. Our position is to sell through them, but not only through them. Consider non-bookstore opportunities, too.
