TheBookGuide - and
help to support the UK's secondhand and antiquarian book trade.
TheBookGuide's
main concern is the decline in opportunities for booklovers to delight in real
book browsing.
Many
large towns are now without a secondhand bookshop and book fairs are coming under
increasing pressure. If booksellers are to continue to make their books available
to the public in this way, they will need support.
Below
are a few ways that you can help promote the richness and diversity of
the secondhand and antiquarian book trade in the UK.

Bookmark
Giving away our free bookmark is a simple way of encouraging other book- lovers
to visit secondhand bookshops and book fairs.
The bookmarks
are printed on high quality card with a velum finish, which not only looks good,
but also feels great (unfortunately the scan doesn't do them justice).
They
are available free to anyone who is prepared to give them away. All we
ask is that you take a minimum of ten and do your best to give them to people
who will make use of them.
Besides bookshops and fairs,
libraries, schools, collages and bookgroups are just a few of the places they
could be made available. Order

If you have a book related website
please consider a
link exchange with TheBookGuide.
Google is actively encouraging this type of link exchange
between industry related websites, as it is seen as improving it's search results
for internet users. Because of this, participating websites tend to be given priority
in search results, which ultimately means improved traffic to both websites.
As
you can see from our extensive lists of book related links,
we are keen to link with any site offering goods or services that we think our
readers will be interested in. However, we regret that we cannot consider
link
exchanges with individual online bookseller's websites,
as this is not part of TheBookGuide's purpose. | | Word
of Mouth
Last but definitely not least, please remember to tell
other people about us! TheBookGuide's popularity, and therefore it's ability to
direct customers to bookshops and fairs, has grown largely as a result of word
of mouth.
Finally,
If you have any other ideas that will help promote the UK's secondhand
and antiquarian book trade,
please contact us. |
