Thanks for your kind suggestions, Rachel. I sell my books in the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Shop, reminder to self to take some more to the shop!, but I think your suggestion re River Dark is excellent. At Christmas I tend to have a stall at various village hall fairs, that helps. Kind regards, Carole.
