Today I set up an account with Café Press, a company that imprints custom art on a wide variety of products using Print-On-Demand the same way that my book is made, only with coffee mugs and mousepads instead of paper. In fact, I believe they print books too, but I didn't need that service. What I did want was a hat with my title logo on it, and a t-shirt with my book cover art. Of course, I also got a coffee cup and mousepad too.
This seemed like a great idea to me, for several reasons: first, of course, it might bring in another stream of revenue associated with this book, and I can certainly use that; but more importantly, it's another possible way to promote the book itself by getting the name and artwork out there where other fantasy fiction fans might see it. Every person who wears a shirt with my cover art on it is like a walking billboard advertising my book. And that's exactly what I want.
So help support your humble independent author and make a fashion statement in the process! There are dozens of shirt styles to choose from, including sweatshirts and hoodies, as well as hats and clocks and pillows and posters, and a number of other useful items.
