Advice to Authors
Here is a bit of advice: When we’re selling your at an event for you, don’t try to convince customers to buy the book by selling them from your own stash. At a discount. In front of us. Not cool. That might get you immediately banned from our shelves.

I’ve had that happen too… frustrating. Also: trading books in the parking lot with another consignment author and thinking we don’t know what’s going on.

It’s astonishing that someone who is smart enough to write a book can be THAT stupid.

Perhaps you might try presenting them with a bill for short-term rent and the costs of the promotion. Man, that’s just feeble. Hope things are good otherwise. Cheers–Martin Clark

Did you try to confront one of them? what was the response?
I like Martin’s idea of sending them a bill.
