oh, yeah, and there are still networks of brick-and-mortar stores, of varying vitality.
These are serviced by networks that go back to a few companies - and if you have a finished product with packaging ready to be bought in bulk, it wouldn't be all that hard to get access to their buyers - but you'd have to do the in-person sales things.
I'm friends with a family that owns a strip club that has a bookstore as part of the building - so I hear about the business behind those bookstores pretty often. The claim was that one fulfillment depot handles about 2000 stores - so, a pretty deep market.
