Last Sunday I was amazed when I received Seth Godin’s This Might Work. I even video recorded and wrote about the experience of opening the biggest book I’ve ever seen in Having Fun With Seth Godin.
For Seth’s latest book The Icarus Deception he created a Kickstarter Project and I purchased two items on offer. The first was This Might Work, the behemoth collection of Seth’s blog posts. The second was eight copies of The Icarus Deception and two copies of V is for Vulnerable, his newest books. Here is where my experience goes from wonderful to amazing.
Seth kept us informed every step of the way, but I was left with the impression that while This Might Work would ship in November, 2012 The Icarus Deception and two copies of V is for Vulnerable were not scheduled for publication, and I thought for shipping, until January, 2013. Having had my appetite whetted with This Might Work I was resigned to waiting until January for the other two books.
Late last night I arrived home late to another box sitting in the front hallway. Not expecting anything in particular, I was amazed, delighted, and surprised to open the box to find my eight copies of The Icarus Deception and two copies of V is for Vulnerable. The photo above shows me in the Webtech Wireless board room with the whole package. I had to sneak the picture in because later today I’m giving a copy of The Icarus Deception to our CEO Scott Edmonds and my co-workers Shelina Poonja and Jason Hall. I want us to raise the level of our art to create even more incredible experiences for our customers.
Thanks Seth for the early Christmas present and the awesome experience. I can hardly wait to read the books.
