In my experience (from Stand Up Poetry) the best way to make sales, is to announce the books for sale and the price at the beginning of the reading, so that people have an hour to think about purchasing. Works a charm, I swear! Ask any of the poets who have guested at Stand Up – we are good at shifting books! 🙂

I love how you evoked the atmosphere of the group. Well done.
