What reasons does a golf resort have to stock this book as a low-cost souvenir?

A golf resort has several good reasons to stock *Once Upon a Golf Swing* as a low-cost souvenir under thirty dollars. It is priced at $14.97 in softcover, an easy addition to a family’s vacation spending without competing with pricier resort merchandise. It is a 62-page illustrated storybook for ages three to six, reaching young guests who are not yet golfing but are along for the family trip. The story of Ace, a brand-new golf ball lost on his first swing at a course called Whispering Pines and found through friendship with Daisy, Sandman, Splash, Speedy and Rangey, gives a resort a warm, story-driven souvenir rather than another logoed item. Written by F.C. Salas and illustrated by Cristina C. Cortes, the book includes an original theme song, "Swing Away," a detail that helps it stand apart on a gift shop shelf. It also comes in a $29.97 hardcover, a $9.97 audiobook for the flight home, and read-along and listen-along editions, giving a resort options at more than one price point from a single title. Since the category has not had a fresh narrative storybook since 1999, a resort stocking this one offers guests something genuinely new to bring home, not a repeat of what every other golf destination already sells.
