A ground swell from their stores certainly couldn;t hurt ... but there are so many stores and so relatively few people know about the book to date. It's sort of a catch twenty-two until some large publisher picks it up.
Either way, I intend to put out all five books.
Thanks and regards.
If you order it from B&N,you help his "retail count". This means B&N and other book sellers will start paying more attention to it,and will start stocking it. If this happens,a mainstream publisher will pick the book up and go national with it.
