Imagine a book.
Now imagine there is only one copy of it. In the whole world.
Now imagine it costs one million dollars. (nervous laughter)
Nobody has read it. Not my editor. Not my dad. Not even me, really. I just wrote it.
Some people call this a terrible business model. I call it a business model.
It comes with beers and chocolates with the author. So far, nobody has taken me up on that.
The highest offer so far is $10. My accountant says that is technically a start.
So I asked myself: what if the book is not the book? What if the book is... the idea?
(long, meaningful pause)
It is not. It is a book. And it is for sale.
Thank you. (standing ovation)
