If you've got a really good relationship with one of those retailers though and none of the others, who cares? What I'd maybe do in your situation would be to set up and sell my own books and make some money, but offer to do a signing at all of the local stores to try and sell some copies of their books as well, you know? You keep everybody happy and make some actual profit. - Chris Tyler: Well, just from a human-nature point of view, if you have good relationships with more than one retailer in your city and only invite one to sell your books at your event, of course the other ones might ‘cry foul’ as you say.

I've got friends in the Minneapolis music scene and we have some great comic shops here, but an event like that begs the question: if I invite a retailer to sell books at the event (instead of me doing it directly) will other retailers in the area cry 'foul?' or is it okay to sell books directly at an event like this (from a retailer POV)? oddly enough I’ve been thinking about doing some kind of musical event for the release of the first Nothing Better print collection.
