Get a shop to carry Pete's book and earn $10!
I'm having a hard time getting the word out about Pete's book
"Momentum," but whatever shopowner I *DO* finally track down to tell about it ends up ordering it. I've sent out fliers with little response. Yet even shops that never sell books seem to easily sell out of this one. If you've read it, you know it's a different kind of ski book. It's oneathem rare ski culture books, done quite nicely I think, hopefully giving the sport a boost. I'm a believer in pushing the culture. If you are, too, here's something you can do... I always pay a (fairly) standard 10% to any commissioned rep, but I don't have many of those either and no exclusives. That amounts to about $10 per shop per winter. To make it simple, I'll pay $10 cash instantly to anyone who gets a new shop to carry Pete's book---like your local skishop or bookstore or skicenter where you HAVEN'T seen Pete's book. Just have em email me or call 800-763-6923 and say who sent em. I can pay you via PayPal or however. (I have been phoning these places and got a bunch of new ones so maybe some of them will tell you "they're on their way!" or something.) THANKS! Sorry about getting commercial here. I suppose it's mostly just "if you like this thing tell people please" and I'll make it worth yer while too. The main barrier here seems to be getting people to just DO something. Once they do it everyone seems to really appreciate having the book in their neck of the woods. -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com publisher of outdoor/indoor do-it-yourself culture... ...offering "small world" views on bikes, bows, books, movies... ...rare books on ski, bike, boat culture, plus a Gulf Coast thriller about smalltown smuggling ... more radical novels coming up! ...original downloadable music ... and articles galore! plus national "Off the Beaten Path" travel forums!
