Do yourself a favour and buy Bill Copelands new novel 'Ashes to the Vistula'. It's one of the most moving books I've ever read. This tough North East of England lad even shed a tear as he neared the end of this amazing book. And, once you've read it... post a review... and push it into your favourite Amazon books on listmania.Ken

What with the new finds of mass graves in the Ukraine and addition of a ninth death camp to the list, there should be some way of tying ASHES TO THE VISTULA to these findings. Any suggestions of how to take advantage of this and increase sales?

The only bad marketing ideas are the one's that go unused… anything including books can be sold no matter how bad or good they are. I've seen people on e-bay sell snowballs, wads of hair and pancakes… if you push your book you can sell it. Let no chance go untaken. Keep your info in hand always. Let no one walk past you with out at least offering them a card or book marker. The costs of these
