The Age of Conversation
I just bought “The Age of Conversation” online at lulu.com, a website that digitally prints books before they ship them. So no stock and less overhead costs, interesting model. (Although I must say the usability of the store can be improved).
The Age of Conversation is a distributed blogger project. 100 bloggers wrote about the subject, one pagers, which are bundled into this nice book together. Hope it will be delivered before my holiday read break, but I’m afraid not.
There are some excellent bloggers/marketeers/thinkers involved. Some Belgians as well: Kris Hoet, Geert Desager, Luc Debaisieux, ..
Quite frankly I’m a bit jealous I missed this boat 
I think I would have liked contributing in this project. Not fast enough, so better luck next time.
So all involved: good luck with the sales and promotion. I’ll write a review as soon as I’ve read the book.
BTW: please note by buying this book you’re supporting charity.
- e-book: $9.99 ($7.99 going to charity)
- paperback book: $16.95 ($8.10 to charity)
- hardback book: $29.99 ($8.55 to charity)
Hey Steven – thanks for buying a copy of the book. I hope you’ll like it, and I’ll check with Drew or Gavin if they know how long one should expect to wait before getting the book delivered.
Hi Steven … there are a number of delivery options (of course the fastest costs the most). My early proof copy got to Australia VERY quickly.
You may know we are planning on doing a follow up starting next Spring, so please make sure to keep an eye out for the call for authors!
Hi Guys, thanks for your feedback. I saw the extra delivery options. If I paid like $150 extra the book would be here in 2 days or so
But there’s nu urge. Would be nice, but I can read it after my vacation as well
Thx for the follow-up notification, I’ll keep an eye on it.
Hi Steven,
Thank you for relaying the information. You’re right this project is a fantastic collaboration. The full process was indeed amazingly fast and responsive. So, the best way not to miss the eventual "next time" is to keep an eye on Drew and Gavin’s blogs (… and of course on the other 100 – time to load that RSS feed reader!). ; )
