March Live Books Sales - Exeter, Bristol + schools

Following a very successful Torquay Comic Con in Feb, I've signed up for two more events organised by UKCGF this month, the first being Exeter. 

Exeter is a big one, in the Westpoint Arena, which is basically a big shed. I'd been to this venue once before, years ago, with Oval Insurance, and I'd remembered it being quite warm. I now realise that was because it was July. This weekend, it being a two day event, it was freezing. But, wrapped up warmly, I kept up my technique of stopping passers by with a free caricature and trying to turn those conversations into sales.

Saturday's figures were helped by one page of Star Trek artwork, which I sold for £150. The book sales looked like this...
