It’s always a pleasure spending time at Unbound. They have jelly beans, biscuits and friendly faces. And today they also had a stonking big pile of books for me to sign. I duly did so, fuelled by the aforementioned beans, biscuits and faces.
These books are the ones earmarked for those of you who pledged at the level ‘signed hardback’ or above, and they’ll be sent out, along with all the other, unsigned copies, later this week. Those of you who ordered the ebook should be emailed yours very soon as well. If you haven’t received them in a week or so, do let me know and I’ll chase.
If you happened to feel inclined to take a photo of your book when it arrives, and to plaster said photo all over social media (perhaps even with a bird of some kind in the background, if you can entice one to within posing distance), well, that would be something magnificent. I’m told that for all the marketing efforts we make to put the book in front of as many people as possible, the one thing that REALLY works is word of mouth. All you have to do is say how wonderful the book looks (and it does, I think, regardless of what lies between the covers) – it’s not as if I’m asking you to read it or anything.
I remain, sirs and madams, forever in your debt.
Yours etc,
Lev
