Booksignings at Casinos?

Big news for those seeking ways to sell their books - sell them at casinos! Wonderful article in the NY Times last week. Here's the article:

It's been awhile since I've been to the casinos (I kinda like keeping my money in my pocket), but what an ingenious way to have a booksigning. Janet Evanovich went all out giving away balloons, fortune cookies and stickers at the Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn., and as I understand it, more authors are looking into this very different means of signing books.

Question for my subscribers and anyone who happens upon this blog:

What is your opinion of having booksignings at casinos? Have you ever tried it?

  1. Thanks for your input, guys! I am dying to do a casino signing. I'm heading out to Las Vegas in a few months, but as we are flying, I don't think there would be enough room for a boxful of books...and then what if they got lost? But, it's an idea for sure.
