Despite the very early start for a Saturday and a suitcase disaster on leaving that was brilliantly dealt with by those working at the festival (can't discuss more now as promised I would write it up one day), had a great time at the Huddersfield event. Was brilliantly organised, a great idea, met many interesting and nice people, and Legend Press books were selling faster than umbrellas in this so-called national storm that's currently going on.
In fact, on the way back I wondered if this market trading was the way forward - forget this office malarky and chasing others to sell our books.
And to cap it all, they even put on a full buffet for lunch - I think that's the one time sales may have been temporarily down on the stall!
Sorry pictures are a little blurred, may have to pick up a job-lot of cameras for our next market day.

"Roll up! All you customers!
I sure ain't got all day,
At these knockdown prices,
I'm fair giving 'em away!
I got Queer Fish by the bucket
Salt 'n' Honey by the pail
8 hours me a barrow boy
I'm here to make a sale"

Great looking stall - nice jumper Tom, so you decided against the waistcoat. :-)

You clearly give 5000% to this business and the books, it's great. Love markets, top idea.
