Consignment Book Sale Information
The Book Bee (sweet reads pop-up shop) is a consignment book sale for all your featured titles (up to 5) submitted during registration. The consignment fee is 10% to cover payment processing fees, a portion of the setup, and labor costs. Your payout for titles sold equals 90% of the price you select. Customers will also pay 9.75% sales tax. Plans include optional space for free bookmarks, stickers, or other flat swag beside your books.
Please let Alia know if you need to update your titles. Quantity is at your discretion. Limit 5 titles and 100 total books.
You must sign an acknowledgment and acceptance of the agreement before the sale begins.
Please note that individual authors may not sell books during the event. However, individual book giveaways are permitted during the book signing hours.

Manage Items
Discount and Donate options are disabled.
Click the Add button, then select Add (Manual).
Select a category and “size” from the dropdown options.
Enter the book title in Brand(Desc) and any other information such as series, related titles, or publisher in Optional (Series, etc.)
Enter the price.
Select the number of books you want to add in the bottom drop-down. (each book needs a unique barcode on its tag, not just each title)
Click the Add button.
Repeat for each title until all your books have unique tags, and click the Close button to finish
Print Tags
Once you have finished creating your tags, click the top checkbox (on the left beside Category) and then click the Print button. This will automatically generate and download a PDF file of your tags.
Print tags on 60-67# cardstock (8 tags per page). For each book to be sold, use only one unique tag with its unique item number. Each book, not each title, needs a unique tag (DO NOT make copies of tags). Use an inkjet printer (no dot matrix) with a “normal” (not best quality) printout. Faded barcodes may not work, and some that are too dark may not work because the lines bleed into each other. The barcode needs to appear crisp and clear. Do not place tape over the barcodes.
We cannot accurately manage consignment payouts without unique printed barcode tags. Tags printed on paper do not scan well and must often be keyed in individually.
Tuck the tag snugly inside the front cover (bookmark style). A crew member will keep the tag during checkout.
Bring Your Books
Drop your books off with organizers when you arrive at the hotel, or bring them to the writer & crew mingle on Friday afternoon. If you are flying and need to mail your books in advance, please ship to JustRead by October 1.
