Question of the Week #74: Merchandising Books
Our friends at book trade-blog GalleyCat asked this question a few weeks ago and we want to hear what you think. How would you merchandise your favorite book?
For instance, for Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad you might sell cigars, or random bones of random saints. Or for Moby Dick, a miniature white whale. Or this one from GalleyCat: "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Hunter S. Thompson): um, nothing that would be legal to sell."

For Per Petterson's Out Stealing Horses: In a nautical setting, I would sell Norwegian salmon and fresh caught trout. I would lure people over with the scent of fresh brewed cofffee.

For "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" I'd sell scale models of a Vincent Black Shadow ("It'll outrun the F-111 until takeoff") that would play "White Rabbit" when you pressed the seat.
