COLLECTING COINS BY EMAIL: THE WEIRDEST BOOK I EVER BOUGHT
Michel van den Heuvel writes: "Some months ago I wrote to
5000 people to ask if they would help my son with his world
coin collection. The collection is now complete, and is a daily
joy for Johannes and Adam ( his brother).I did send out over 5000 e-mails to get his world coin collection
and a lot of people helped. Now I have written a book about
this project , it has a lot of e-mails from the people that
contributed and some very nice stories.The result is, a nice book. In the book you can read about the
wedding proposals that I got, How I became a Godfather,
the difference between writing to male and female E-mail users.
The cultural difference between countries.I had to write to 243 Americans to get a positive response
and only to one person in Sudan.The book also gives insight in how one can bring a coin
collection up to date.But most important is the way people behave when asked to
help via e-mail.The book is printed in Denmark, using print on demand technique.
The web site is homemade and a nightmare for web designers.
The reason why I have kept it all simple is to safe on the cost,
and make it cheaper for you to buy the book. the book cost 22
us dollars ( this is the cost price including shipping. I am sorry
that it is so expensive ) Bookstores get a 30 % discountIf you would like to order the book, than you can send me an
E-mail to heuvel at hlgroup.dk or use the ISBN 87-7888-97643
to read more about the book see the web site WEIRDEST BOOK I EVER BOUGHTHere are some of the responses from other readers.
"The best book I ever read about E-mail, Interesting to
see how much difference there is between cultures""In about 6 weeks I will have a full coin collection"
"The next time you should improve the layout. It is by far
the weirdest book I ever bought, but fun reading""I know more about Vanuatu now than I know about my
own country""Mail me for your next book"
"I have no interest in coins, but somehow I just had to
read the next page and the next one and so on, thanks for
a good story"- 2004-02-22
