And the World Changed!
6th April 2009
Today, April 7, 2009, marks the release of my new book, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Persuasion. This is my first experience with publishing in the trade press (as opposed to scientific or academic publication) and I will be posting here my reactions to events as they occur.
Right now I’m vaguely apprehensive. It’s hard to imagine the Amazon rank of the book (currently #365,512!) rocketing to the top of the charts like the newest Beatle song or even setting the bar a bit lower, say just selling one copy to someone outside of my immediate family. This is a very strange experience, waiting for the market to do something.
I’ll also make what will be a repeated offer: Please send me a picture of you with the book in a bookstore. Include a text description that identifies yourself and where you found it. I’ll post it up here on my blog unless and until the book becomes a best-seller and I’m overwhelmed. (From my lips to His Ear.) Use drsbb at HealthyInfluence dot com as the contact address. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY THE BOOK. Just a photo in the store is enough and I’ve got no way of knowing whether you bought it anyway. Okay?
I think just a couple of dozen photos on the blog would be a delight.
