The Best Ideas are Free (the book)
May 5th, 2009
As many of you may have heard (and seen the occasional spy shot) my first book The Best Ideas are Free is due out soon.
I sat down last year after 6 months of blogging, printed out every post and spent an afternoon selecting the 63 best ideas.
Since then they have been put together into a book – 63 easily digestible ideas to chew on.
It will soon be available to the general public (I expect to ship July 6th but that may move up if time allows) but I will be opening pre-orders exclusively to you guys. This is to thank you for all your support, comments (good or bad), readership and to celebrate my 1 year anniversary of blogging!
Now I will be the first to admit that yes you can browse through the blog and read the ideas for free (go for it I encourage you) but hey how much cooler is it having a book?
The book is designed to be such that you can open it up on any page, read an idea within 30 seconds, pick it up and run with it. The first time you read it you won’t get them all but reread it three months from now another one may be relevant.
If you enjoy the blog you’ll love the book. Like the blog it is colloquial format – as if I am having a conversation with you. DO NOT expect a typical book – expect my blog in phsyical form (and yes with all my quirks!). This truly is a book the way I would want a book to be..
For the 130 pages of goodness you will be given the opportunity to pre-order 1 of 63 limited edition signed copies.
To snag one enter your email below and I will be in touch (first in first served).
(Update 3rd Aug 09: The book is now out, you can click the book cover to the left in the sidebar to get a copy off Amazon or visit www.thebestideasarefree.com thanks – Ben).
(Note: RSS & Email Subscribers need to click here to visit the blog to use the form. Thanks!)
