Following my recent post about personally sending out signed, dedicated copies of my books – particularly, recently, this one about public speaking – I ordered more copies from the publisher and today I went bonkers.
I got this picture of the book’s recipient from his social media account, saved it to my desktop, printed it out at 10% of normal size and cut it out carefully with a craft knife:
Then I then glued it with Pritt-Stick.
I don’t know how long this Platinum Signing Service can continue but for now it’s giving me amusement and pleasure.
What next? Suggestions welcome, though I don’t promise to deliver on all of them.
