• 24 interior diagrams walk vendors through each play step by step
• Built from 109 live web searches across 7 research stages and 93 distinct sources

• Sold under a resell licence, with only 12 licences ever issued

The problem

Every market organiser wants vendors who show up ready — booth packed, stock planned, feedback recorded afterward so the show gets smarter each season instead of starting from zero. The reputation of your event rests on that as much as anything you do at the gate.

Most organisers hand applicants a one-page checklist or a link to a blog post and hope for the best. That doesn't grow an applicant list and it doesn't signal that this show is one worth planning a season around. If what you currently send in exchange for an email address reads like an afterthought, this is the gap.

What this is

This is a finished, illustrated book: 8 chapters, 15,898 words, with 24 interior diagrams and 7 printable exercises built into the text — an event scorecard, a stock plan, a kit list, a drive-home debrief, and more.

It is not a template you fill in yourself, not an outline waiting to be written, and not a swipe file of headlines. It is complete, ready to hand to vendors exactly as it stands, or rebranded first through the editable files.

Each chapter maps to a stage a vendor moves through across a season — applying, packing, restocking, and reviewing what happened after load-out.

Who it's for

This is for market organisers, show runners, and coaches who work with craft-fair vendors and want to hand them something more substantial than a checklist — as an applicant incentive, a welcome packet, or a resource inside a vendor course.

It is not for anyone selling to wholesale buyers, retailers, or online-only sellers with no physical booth: the plays inside are built around events with a load-in, a load-out, and a season of them. If your vendors aren't setting up a booth more than once, this isn't the right fit.

How you'd use it

Offer it as the thing a vendor gets for applying to your show, ahead of the paperwork. Hand it to accepted vendors as part of a welcome packet so their first season with you starts organised instead of reactive.

Use it as a handout at a vendor orientation session, or fold it into a coaching program as a bonus resource. It also works as a giveaway at your own stand when you're recruiting for next season — something a maker can flip through on the spot and see it's built for exactly their weekend.

What's included

• 8 chapters, 15,898 words
• 24 original diagrams, drawn for this book
• 7 printable exercises
• Every interior diagram as a separate PNG
• Print-ready digital PDF
• Editable Word document (.docx)
• Raw markdown source, one file per chapter
• Every finished cover at full resolution, PNG and JPEG
• The listing metadata — title, subtitle and description
• Provenance scorecard and certificate

What you can change

Inside the Word document and the markdown source, you can change the title, the author name, the imprint, and any offer blocks — swap in your show's name, your own name, or a call to action pointing back to your event. These are text files; anything written in them is yours to rewrite.

The cover is not part of that. It ships as a finished image, ready to use as it stands.

What you can't change

The cover ships as a finished PNG and JPEG at full resolution, and the text on it — title and subtitle — is baked into that image. You cannot edit that wording the way you'd edit a document; a different cover would mean designing a new one.

The same is true of the 24 interior diagrams: each is a separate image file, so any framework name or label rendered inside one cannot be edited out by changing text elsewhere. What you get to change is the words around the diagrams, not the diagrams themselves.

Where it came from

This book came from 109 live web searches, run across all 7 stages of a research process, drawing on 93 distinct sources. All 8 chapters were approved before delivery.

A provenance scorecard and certificate are included in the download, so you — or a vendor who asks where this came from — can see the record rather than take a claim on faith. This book carries the labels Research-backed and Author-approved, and no others.

The licence, in plain words

This title is sold under a resell licence, and only 12 licences will ever be sold — a real limit set by store inventory, not a countdown timer. That does not mean you're the only one holding it; it means the total sold will never exceed 12, and you can check that against the listing itself.

What you are buying is a licence to this package — the files, the cover, the diagrams — not the copyright to the underlying work. It was produced with AI assistance, disclosed openly and evidenced on the scorecard included in your download.

It cannot be republished to Amazon KDP, under any title or cover. KDP Select requires digital exclusivity, and a title also sold here can't offer that — and every buyer who ignores this adds another near-identical title to Amazon, which is exactly the duplicate-content pattern their enforcement targets.

Questions

Is this just AI slop with a cover slapped on it?

No. It was produced with AI assistance, which we disclose openly and evidence on the included provenance scorecard. The manuscript came from 109 live web searches across 7 research stages drawing on 93 distinct sources, all 8 chapters were approved before delivery. That's a documented process, not a single prompt.

How many other people are going to be selling this exact book?

Only 12 licences of this title will ever be sold — a real limit enforced by store inventory, not a marketing device. That caps how many licence holders can ever exist, but it does not make you the only one selling it, and it doesn't lock anyone else out.

Can I put my own name on it as the author?

Yes. Inside the Word document and the markdown source you can change the author name, the title, the imprint, and any offer blocks. The cover is a finished image, though — the text on it isn't editable the way the interior text is, so your name won't appear there without a new cover design.

Can I sell this on Amazon or through KDP?

No. This cannot be republished to Amazon KDP, under any title or cover. KDP Select requires digital exclusivity, which a title also sold here can't offer, and every buyer who ignores this adds another near-identical title to Amazon — exactly the duplicate-content pattern their enforcement targets.

What files do I actually receive?

57 files: every interior diagram as a separate PNG, a print-ready PDF, an editable Word document, the raw markdown source split one file per chapter, every finished cover at full resolution in PNG and JPEG, the listing metadata, and the provenance scorecard and certificate.

What software do I need to use any of this?

A word processor that opens .docx for editing text, a PDF reader for the print-ready file, and an image viewer for the diagrams and covers. If you'd rather work from the raw source, any plain text or markdown editor will open those files.

Can I change the wording or branding inside the diagrams?

No. The 24 interior diagrams are delivered as separate image files, and any text or framework name rendered inside them is baked into the image — it can't be edited by changing a text file. What you can change is the surrounding text in the Word document and markdown source, not the diagrams themselves.
