I'm hoping to do a stand at my local Literary Festival (estimated footfall 5K) to sell my self-published books.
One is a 600-page WW1 non-fiction, £15 a copy with b/w illustrations or £35 a copy in colour. The other is a 100-page collection of short stories/poetry, £7.50 a copy with colour pics. They'll be on a stall with other books from my writers' group, with the WW1 book given a special promo space and A3 signage. Both are well-presented, with attractive covers. They do not have any local interest, but I hope to have published another book of local-themed poetry by then as well, similar size/price to the short stories.
How many of each do you think I should take? I don't want to overspend on the WW1 book as it costs a lot per copy (as well as being very heavy!) but I don't want to run out, either.
Any other guidance would be welcomed!
