These books are the best advertising, they are better than advertising.
If we simply present Krishna Consciousness in a serious and attractive way,
without need to resort to fashionable slogans or tricks, that is sufficient.
Our unique asset is our purity. No one anywhere can match it.
That will be noticed eventually and appreciated, as long as we do not diminish or neglect
the highest standard of purity in performing our routine work,
not that we require to display or announce ourselves in very clever ways to get attention.
No, our pure standard is enough. Let us stand on that basis.
Srila Prabhupada letter December  28. 1971

Regarding Sankirtana and book distribution, book distribution is also chanting.
Anyone who reads the books that is also chanting and hearing.
Why distinguish between chanting and book distribution?
These books I have recorded and chanted and they are transcribed.
It is spoken kirtanas. These are not ordinary books.
It is recorded chanting. Anyone who reads, he is hearing.

Madhya 25.278 : PURPORT :

All the devotees connected with this Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement must read all the books that have been translated (Caitanya-caritāmṛta, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, Bhagavad-gītā and others); otherwise, after some time, they will simply eat, sleep and fall down from their position. Thus they will miss the opportunity to attain an eternal, blissful life of transcendental pleasure.
