Still, it might be of interest to some, with the added advantage that you can keep an eye out on the websites for books that have been released in your area, and go on a hunt for them.

I've done that with a bunch of books. All were gone within a day and this is not a main area for that traffic. I did share with one shop owner and she is considering adding her place as a catch and release point.
