…if you’d like to help me give away all the old inventory, it’s yours for the taking.

Just let me know how many copies you want, then drop by and pick them up. Give them away to your family, friends, coworkers, and strangers at the mall. Keep one for yourself.

No strings attached. You’ll be helping me clear out space in my basement and spread the word about the new books.

If you’re not local, then you can order as many books as you want from Free Christmas Books.com, but it’ll cost you just about enough to cover S&H.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

P.S. Now that I have concluded my experiment to find out which of you are ingenius marketers, I will add a copy of the stamp I had made for the inside cover of the book. Thanks Antone and Joe for your input!

The question is, am I too late? Have I missed the boat for this year?

In talking to a friend who runs an online bookstore, he tells me that by around this time, people stop shopping online for books for gifts and go to the stores, to make sure the gifts arrive in plenty of time.

You can still order from Amazon, btw, and get it on time, even with super saver shipping, though you may need standard shipping soon to get it on time.

And I’ll get a couple hundred books delivered here on Tuesday. I hope to at least sell most of those to friends and neighbors, then be patient for the big boat next year.

In the mean time, if you’ve read either book and liked it and have a minute and are in the mood to do me a huge favor, I’d really appreciate if you’d leave a comment on any of the web pages where they’re for sale to help visitors decide whether to buy it!
