Based on a tip from publishing guru Eoin Purcell, and following the clever example of Joe Konrath, I am soliciting reviews of A History of the Internet and the Digital Future from bloggers of all hues. A free copy of the book will be posted to you in return for a review (of more than 75 words). And I will of course link to your review from this page/site.
(email johnnyryan1@gmail.com with details of your blog and postal address where the book can be sent to)
UPDATE: (17:21, 28 September 2010) So far Kevin Kelly (founder of Wired and former editor of the Whole Earth Catalogue), Cory Doctorow (of Boing Boing), Jeff Jarvis (Buzz Machine), Adam Elkus (Huffington Post and Rethinking Security), Kathryn Greenhill (Librarians Matter), Rick Shera (Law Geeknz), Tyler Cowan (Marginal Revolution), and George Murray (Book Ninja) have expressed interest. Blogs like Marginal Revolution have approx 30k views per day, and Librarians Matter has 1,800 subscribers.
This is great! The problem is that my publisher has set aside 10 copies (ten) for me to send to bloggers, and in the absence of an e-version, because they hold the rights to that, I have to beg that prospective reviews contact the publishers directly (maria@reaktionbooks.co.uk).
Hi Mr. Ryan, I’d be interested in reviewing your book. Email me at simlaughter@hotmail.com.
I’d be happy to review your book… what do I have to do next?
Thanks for responding Amanda. Can you send me your postal address, and I’ll pass that on to the publisher so they can send you a copy
John,
From reading your previous writings I know this will be pretty much on the mark. Looking forward to reviewing it.

Hi, I would love to review your book for the Norwegian market on our blog. I am one of the three partners at Sermo Consulting. We are professionals in digital communications.
Kind regards,

Hi Thomas, thank you! Could you let me know the address and give an indication of the following? As you see from the update above I have to go back to the publisher on a case by case basis to justify extra review copies. I’m eager to follow this up, so the more detail you can E-mail me at johnnyryan1@gmail.com the better
I really like how you set up the site as I am a new author and always looking for ways others promote their work!
