Lismore gemfestival is a magnificent festival and gets better each year.
This year I was lucky enough to be offered a stall to sell my book The Magic of Minerals in Crystal Healing. Along with this I offered some of my gemstone jewellery. I can honestly say I much prefer to wander and look searching for that special crystal/slab that I cannot do without. I was told it was a magnificent festival but could not really get out to see for myself.
I am not complaining at all. I have experienced my first ever stall. The feedback on my book was terrific. To hear people coming back and saying to their friends "Look, that is the book" was pretty amazing. Some people chose to use the book as a reference for what they would buy at various stalls. This is terrific, but at times I felt like they treated my stall as a library. Trusting the content of the book and leafing through it and moving on. Not buying it. I only hope that later on they remember the great info they got from the book and come back to buy it.
I know from being a customer at gemfest previously you have to try to get the best for your money and have to get around to see it all. I must say that I felt my book was used and some people were rude. This was a minority though, and the whole experience was a great learning curve. I was surprised that people did not know that I was the author of a book of new research until I told them. Advertising is a must next time.
I met many lovely people and made lots of contacts. I have to say I'm glad I was there as a stall holder, and will make sure I get a good break to go and see the various stalls next year.

I didn't understand the concluding part of your article, could you please explain it more?
I am assuming you mean the very end about postage costs. I have set up the paypal button so that it has a drop down menu to include the differing costs for other countries. Click the drop down menu and find your country, click on it and your country's postal costs will be included with the cost of the book ie $47AUD + postal cost to your country. Then go ahead with the paypal payment and I will send you a copy of this fabulous book :)
Please contact me if you have any problems. Enjoy!
I am not going to be original this time, so all I am going to say that your blog rocks, sad that I don't have suck a writing skills
