Book promotion tips of the week: When you schedule a signing request that a sign with some copies of your book be put up in the store a few weeks ahead of time. Also ask if you can sign any unsold copies and add a "signed" sticker to the books. This will extend interest in your book and sell more copies--before and after your signing.
