Re: [AGA-mcm] Advertising in TFH and selling a book

["Phil Edwards" <biotypical@hotmail.com>]

I know Herbie's going to have a fairly small bed and I'm not sure Bubba 
would be willing to let him share it with anyone else.  I understand that 
TFH may have a bilge-poor reputation, but they do ocassionally put out some 
good stuff.  They do print the NAW series.  :)

What is the reason for not wanting to compete with other vendors?  If I've 
forgotten to mention this or brought it up too long ago, I apologize.  I 
have had people tell me that they'd like to see more in the book department. 
 If TFH is willing to sell books to societies like us then we can do a 
decent service to our members by selling them. *IF the bookstore person is 
willing to take up a little more room in her house.

***There is no minimum order on any of their books***  If space or money is 
an issue, we can get 5 copies of things and just order more when they sell 
out/get low.

Another great thing about us being non-profit is we don't have to worry 
about selling our stock for much, if any, gain, unlike the other folks.  We 
could be very competetive price-wise.  I'm willing to bet more than my right 
arm that planted tank related books are a teeny tiny portion of any online 
retailer's aquarium book business and they won't care/won't notice if we 
offer more selection in the store.

Oooh, I just had another idea.  (OUCH!)  ;)  Have we approached ADA about 
selling us backissues of AJ for cheap and then selling them?  Do we still 
have those boxes of journals left from 2004?

Anyways, I'm getting a little verclempt thinking about this, talk amongst 
yourselves.
