But we don't want just anyone to show up.  If we did, we could go back
to serving beer in the con suite, and then make a flier advertising
"unlimited beer all weekend" and pin it up in phone booths, etc.

The only books I put the fliers in were books by our guest of honor.

If we could get fliers naming all the program participants printed up
far enough in advance, it might be worth while putting one in each
book written by any of the of the program participants, in every
bookstore and every library in within a hundred miles, with the
appropriate name highlighted in each case.  We would promptly cease
doing so in any store or library where we get complaints.
