SORRY THEY ARE GONE
One of the little marketing gimmicks used by my publisher was to give away free "no asshole rule" erasers when the book first came out. People still talk to me about them and keep asking for them, but I had given away all but a small personal supply. My publisher was kind enough to make-up another batch -- the front and back of the new version is pictured above. If you want to see the original, look here. I am going to give a bunch away at my forthcoming AlwaysOn talk (there is a steep admission fee, but the live streaming video is free). I thought it would also be fun to share some erasers with readers of this blog. And my 12 year-old daughter Eve is looking a bit bored today, and this seems like a perfect project.
So, if you send me an email to my gmail account, bobsutton54@gmail.com, and include your address. My daughter (who has much better handwriting than I do) will address the envelope and send you in an eraser. I promise I will delete the addresses after we get the envelopes out, as I despise SPAM and telemarketers as much as you do. I will let you know when we hit 100 and the give away is over.
P.S. In the name of honest advertising, note the actual eraser is smaller than that pictured.
My favorite part is that it says, in bold block letters, "Made in Mexico," because some bureaucrat, somewhere thought it was important that we know this eraser was not made in Des Moines.
