: Re: Paying a bookstore to stock your self-published book A local bookstore has decided to charge to stock my book for 6 months. For each book sold, they get 40% and I get 60%. The stocking

If the store gets 40% of the sale price, with a guaranteed minimum of over 6 months, then that sounds reasonable. After all, it costs them money to provide you with shelf space, whether your book sells or not. But 40% PLUS the seems unfair. To me. It seems like they don't want to run any risk of your book being a flop, but they also want to benefit in case the book is a hit. I'd bargain for a better deal, or find another bookstore. However, I'm not an expert on local bookstore policies. You might try selling it as an e-book first. A proven seller should merit a better deal.
