I did this some time ago (not long after Xmas 2017 IIRC). Now I am
getting some mails saying they will cancel my affiliacy if I don't make
a few sales before 1yr (so 6 more months). It's not many but with my
usage I'm unlikely to make any.

So, I think the time has come for me to figure out a new source. Does
anyone have any good tips. I'm primarily using tellico for printed
books and mostly UK editions of things. I do occasionally end up with
overseas prints, especially US, of things, e.g. via marketplace, but
not all that much.

I did sign up for biblioshare but that's predominantly North American
editions.

Any advice on what datasources would be best for me?

Ian.
