And events are far more effective at getting that bond established. But sometimes - in a book store - you don't have that luxury because you have to follow their format. <br /><br />I've always enjoyed doing events more, especially at libraries. People there are always enthusiastic about reading, writing and books in general. Those events are also great because they tend to take the focus off of selling. And I'd rather talk about writing than be stuck at a table selling.K.S.
