Have contact information in the book
While in Sri Lanka, where the Bhagavatam sets are flying out under the sincere management of Vasudeva Datta Prabhu, it came to my attention that a local devotee there became a devotee by receiving a book. He liked the book and was thinking how to find out more, when he found a stamp in the book that told him where the temple is and how to get more books. This is so important!

They all returned the book except for one of them, who said he'd give a donation. As he looked in his wallet, Ruben looked on and saw a piece of paper that had the word "Isopanisad" written on it.
