Terrific product for newsagents in cattle country

driverThis is a product tip I heard about from Peter at newsXpress Emerald.  The Drover by photographer Al Mabin is a wonderful photography book documenting a 2,000km cattle run of 18,000 head of cattle through two states. It’s selling exceptionally well at newsXpress Emerald and could sell well in other cattle country areas. Here are reasons for newsagents to get behind The Drover: It is self published, it beautifully documents Australia and this Australian event, customers love it, it’s a great Aussie story. Contact Al directly to purchase the book at wholesale for sale in your newsagency. You can be part of a terrific local story.

    Peter I’m glad to be able to buy this direct from the publisher / author, control my stock and get a good margin. I urge city newsagents to try it. It’s a terrific book.

    Just met Alice Mabin in person as she delivered some stock of her book in person. Now off to find a saddle and a bale of hay to display them. She is one enterprising young lady, I’m looking forward with interest to see what our sales can be.
