TARGET: Policies on author sales

[Ruth Dahlstrom <rdahl@ESC3.NET>]

Dear LM_NETters:

I need to draw on your collective wisdom!

I have received a query from one of my schools about policies regarding
authors who wish to sell their books at the school at which they are
invited to
speak.

The principal at the school in question does not approve of the visiting

author selling copies of his/her book at the school.

1.  How does your school handle this situation?  (I am interested in
both pro and con positions.)
2.  Do you have a written policy that speaks to this?
3.  If you do, could I have a copy? (FAX number is below in sigfile.)

I will be glad to compile a HIT and post to LM_NET.

thanks.  ruth dahlstrom
