Books If You Like (Almost) Free Books
Posted by Paul Constant on Mon, Jul 6, 2009 at 3:21 PM
Much in the way that we give away free advance reader's copies of books at Slogs Happy, Stephen Elliott is providing free advance copies of his upcoming memoir The Adderall Diaries. He explains:
Loosely based on the Hans Reiser murder trial, the book will be published in September, but if you send an email to adderall@therumpus.net I might send you an advance copy.Here’s the hitch: if I mail you a book I’ll also email you the address of the next person to send it to. You have a week to read it, then you have to send your copy to the next address. First class postage is $3.07. So this is not totally free...In your email please include your address and a little bit about yourself. Priority given to people who are verifiably real.
You can read more about the lending program here. It's a pretty smart way for an author to get the word out about his book. Elliott estimates that he can accommodate 500 people in the program.
