If the book were titled, All Marketers Are Storytellers, would you consider looking at it? Godin brought up this point in the book and it clearly explained what he means by “liars.” Of course, he didn’t insult marketers as he belongs in that category.

After pouring sweat over the newest book, it’s time for the next step: Getting it out there for people to buy. Unlike the Field of Dreams, if you write it, they won’t necessarily come unless you’re John Grisham, Mary Higgins Clark, or Patricia Cornwell. If you are one of them, “Hi! I’m a fan of … Read more

Edward Tufte’s ASK E.T. section, which resembles forums, has a delightful conversation about children’s books. Because of this, I bought The Water Hole and received it today. We read it to my youngest and I don’t know about him, but we loved it. Might have to get Graeme Base’s Animalia. This discussion is dangerous to … Read more
