Merchandising
Well, I hasn’t taken me long to descend to the level of a shameless, dignity-free shill.
After Rachel’s suggestion and kind offer, an unholy alliance of eBay, Photoshop and too much spare time has produced these babies: limited edition Blog Digest 2007 keyrings. There are currently only ten in existence.
To get one, email me a photo of you with your copy of The Blog Digest along with the proof of purchase. I’ll publish the photo and a link to your blog if you have one. You can then put the keyring on eBay.
Update: Simon gets the first keyring. He bought his copy from Amazon so ignore their ‘Usually dispatched within 4 to 6 weeks’ warning - it’s cobblers.

Presumably the copy has to be bought? There should be a Kellogs Cornflakes packet compeition style caveat about who should be allowed to compete for these limited edition collectable rarities, surely.
[Gets out camera.]
Sorry… missed the “proof of purchase” clause. You’ve already thought of that I see. Dang.
Thattaboy, Justin - rampant commercialism is the only way to go.
Sorry, William!
I haven’t even got my free copy yet! Honestly, I ask you… a few more days and I’m going to have to actually pay for a copy. [shudder]
I don’t know how sales are going, but you should get Amazon to do one of those “Buy this with The World According To Jeremy Clarkson and save £1.99!” deals. That might convince the waverers, myself included.
So (continuing william’s theme) do those of us who received a free copy fall under the CY equivalent of the ‘Employees of Kellogs and their families are prohibited from entering’ rule?
They can’t send it along with The World According To Clarkson: all attempts to package the two together have resulted in mysterious, spontaneous explosions in the back of Omega Express vans; either that, or the arrival of only one book, looking much bigger, fatter and more contented than when it left the warehouse.
Well done, Simon, you keyring whore. I’ll make sure the whole office knows of your achievements. Can I borrow it when you’ve finished? The book, that is, not the keyring.
[...] As others are plugging books, I thought I may as well do the same. As such, an extract from my delightful book on The Lord of the Rings is now up on the self-promotion part of the site - an extract of largely theoretical gubbins into the nature of myth and how Tolkein would have responded to the various adaptations of his work, taken from the conclusion. Go buy it from Amazon - at a very reasonable discounted price of £6.59. Perfect for any Rings fans you may know who haven’t already got fed up with the umpteen different DVD releases of Peter Jackson’s trilogy… December 6th, 2006 at 1:50 pm [...]
… rumbled, says “Ex-Observer journalist”. Nice photo… prominent display of front cover.
