2.  Gift stores
3.  Catalogs
4.  Start a book club
5.  Specialty stores
6.  Fundraisers 
7.  Lemonade stand - Why not?  It worked when we were young. :) 
8.  School talks
9.  Church or synagogue gift shop
10. Seminars
11. Workshops
12. Contest
13. Offer your book as a door prize
14. Library talks
15. Book walk - walk and talk books 
16. Flea markets (don't laugh - I have one author who has a space in a Park N' Swap from November to March each year -www.SecretLifeofaSnowbird.com)

  1. That is really a very good work. I have a library at home where I store all the books even my kids books, so that some time or the other then may come in use.
