Merchandise I Expected To Find At A Pipe Show But Didn't

How did Neill Archer Roan do with his Comoys Blue Riband book?

The Blue Riband Pipe book sold out.
There are reasons very little merchandise is available for sale. There really isn't much margin in these products when purchased in small or modest volumes, they really don't sell well, they are a pain in the ass to deal with, particularly shirts ("hey do you have that in a 4XL??"), they take focus away from what you are trying to do. and people really don't want to pay for them.

Just to clarify, the 100 copies that were air-freighted from China sold out in a day. The rest of the print run will arrive at the publishers in a couple of weeks and they can be reserved now

I would buy a nice set of drink coasters with favorite tobacco tin labels on them. Probably would also buy nice polo shirts with pipe maker logos if done tastefully. I'm not into hats and t-shirts, though.

Bobble Head dolls - now that's amusing thought.
