  • The importance of building momentum from one book sale to the next by recruiting a permanent team of volunteers

  • How the Internet can be used to increase sales

    Using case histories from three successful ongoing programs, everything from setup to cleanup, on-site money matters, and financial control is covered. The practical sample forms included will make running a successful book sale that much easier.
