There are a squillion books in Previews. The fact that someone other than me is printing Blue doesn't mean bupkus. Ordering new books is a financial risk. How do I get a harried, pressed-for-shelf-space retailer to take a chance on me, a first-timer with no track record? That's the question I posed to four of my prospective customers, indy-friendly retailers.
