The Dangerous Book for Boys - Promotional Video
May 1, 2007
I’ve been reading The Dangerous Book for Boys.
Check out this video they posted on YouTube:
Full Disclosure: The folks at Harper Collins had contacted me to ask if I’d be interested in checking out the book. So far I’ve been enjoying it. I’ll post my review when done.


1- the video is cool. I like the ending.
2- a publisher asked you to look at a book? Double cool.
3- I’m doing a podcast project with a publisher. Double creepy.
Regarding “a publisher asked you to look at a book” … I was really impressed because they did it the right way. They asked if I was interested and said there was no pressure for me to write a review. I’m not being paid for it.
Which is opposite of people who try to influence positive reviews of software, consumer electronics, etc. with money or other rewards — the “pay for post” approach.
