A few months ago I read a really good book called Unmarketing. I found out the author was close to Toronto where I live, so hoped to see him around sometime giving a talk of some sort, but unfortunately didn't. The reason why I was hoping for it was actually rooted in my desire to get my copy of the book signed. So I sent him a note for a nontraditional book-signing:
Scott,
Love the book! I would like to get my copy signed if possible* so wondering if I could send it in somewhere?
Regards,
Prashant
*Please...
So the reply came back from their coordinator of awesome: I think what would be easier is if we sent you a signed UnMarketing sticker to add to your book (otherwise the shipping costs might be very high for you) Would this work?
And here we are:
The fact that the author followed through on one of the key concepts is definitely inspiring. Do you know any authors who can do the same?
