What Can You Do With Your Extra Books?

by Sherrie Wilkolaski

Do you have a garage filled with books that you haven't sold yet? Renting a warehouse space to keep up with the backlog? If you're not going to take the time to properly and easily market your book, what are you going to do with all of your extra books? Here are some interesting ideas that will put the usefulness back in your book title. 

1. Sick of those water rings on your coffee table? Use your book as a coaster.

2. Tired of that door creaking open? Your book would make a fantastic doorstop.

3. Bookshelf looking empty? Fill it up! You will look well-read.

4. Feeling the fall chill? Look no further to build a warm fire.

5. Need holiday gift ideas? Stick your book under the tree!
