| Posted 7/20/2003 6:04 PM (GMT -6) |   | Why not increase the circulation of this book by putting it on line along with a number of commentaries by other Christian scholars?
I am sure people will still buy print-copies. If you like a book, you usually like having a copy you can be proud to have on your library shelf.
But having a copy of it will increase its circulation, particularly in int'l circles. That should make Piper and the Pipettes have a hissy-fit!!!!

Doc: "Get thee behind me" 
But, in fact, this is no temptation since doing so would constitute a direct violation of almost every known copyright law known to humanity. Chariot Victor Books owns Letters From a Skeptic... not me.

I think it would probably actually boost sales in the long-run!

Well, it is the personal apologeticking that actually wins people over rather than just giving it to someone and expecting them to be won over.
The book is a model for how two people can take each others ways of viewing the world rather seriously and communicate honestly about their differences and why they (dis)believe what they (dis)believe.
However, putting it on the internet would increase overall exposure. Then they would have to come here to dialogue about what they make of it...

Doc: By all means, be my guess. BUT I have to tell you, I've been trying to get Chariot Victor to a) publish a study guide and/ or b) do an audio version of the book -- with many e-mails and letters I've received over the years to this affect -- and after seven years of this, still nothing. SO, I'm not optimistic they'd respond to an e-mail campaign to put LFAS on line. Such is life.
Still, I appreciate your desire to get LFAS into the hands and minds of more people. I wish YOU owned Chariot Victor!

THAT'S IT!!!
Lets start a fund drive to put enought money into DLW's hands so that he can buy Chariot.
Or, DLW, put a business deal into place... an "offer they can't refuse..." Something multi-national, so that you would be dealing with a different VP than Greg has? A new twist. (A comic book? In Spanish?) | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 7/23/2003 5:03 AM (GMT -6) | | Yes, we should also have Greg and Ed Boyd action figures to go along with our new aggressive marketing strategy!!!
It wouldn`t hurt maybe to do some marketing research regarding other books that have been made available online and how that affected their subsequent sales.
