I went to goodwill and bought five wonderful paperbacks-the perfect storm-a great read, two patricia cornwalls, the alienist, caleb carr and a debut nove by midwestern writer that put me to sleep. All in like new condition for 2.50 This town is so backward there are no bustops. We do have a junior college and a university where I walk my dog. Are those good places to release? steffi

Is it this way for all Starbucks, or only the >ones in your state? A lot of corporate places are the same - anywhere, where the franchiser is really tied up by tight company regulations. I could cite McDomnalds, Hungry Jacks etc except for the fact that I'm leaving myself open to legal attack so I won't do any such thing <grin>. Look for quieter, more friendly franchises like The Cookie Man (which I also didn't name) or individual cafes that are not franchises at all. I also released onto a local optometrist's front desk when I had my eyes checked, and I regularly release on the benches at a particular taxi rank and in a particular bus shelter. If you make it a public place like that where people are in transit, not only will a wide variety of people see your books, but you can be reasonably certain they will be released somewhere completely different, so their journey will be more interesting.
