I went to a writers workshop today and this book was one that was available for people to examine as an example of BookSurge's product. At the end of the workshop, the books were given away. Guess who got this copy? :)

So, now it's a BookCrossing book. Not sure if I'll read it first or just BookCross it.

Amazon Product Description

Following these easy steps could be the keys to your success.

About the Author
Denise was born the middle of five children to a typical Catholic family. She graduated from an all-girls Catholic school in the days of plaid skirts, peter pan collars, and knee highs. Her first paid job was as a serving wench for Enry Beazelys Fish n Chips in Portland, Oregon. Thats where she learned about customer service, brand, and malt vinegar. It was a natural then to take those skills to the exciting world of financial institutions. After 20 years of that, she decided it was time to take her show on the road. To share her passion for service, her love of work that matters, and to help companies live their brands. Denise is a speaker, author, consultant and muse. She has spoken in all but two of the United States and for international audiences in Canada, Australia and Eastern Europe. Denise lives in Seattle with Mark, her love and their kids Puss Kitty and Mavis.

I picked this book up while visiting Charleston to meet with a group of international Bookcrossers gathering for the Unconvention - an excuse to swap books, share laughs and enjoy eacj others company for a few days.

When I picked this book up I expected it to be about the brands that people actually tattoo on themselves such as Harley Davidson etc. Instead it was about brands the author approved of as being 'tattoo worthy'. It was still an interesting glimpse into the world of marketing and an easy read due to the likeability of the author whose casual and witty writing style drew me in to read about brands I really am not personally or emotionally invested in.

One of the better self published books I've ever read.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

Left at gate D7 on my way to D11 to board my flight home to London. I was passing through from Charleston having attended the first North American Unconvention hosted by the very gregarious Charleston Bookcrossers.

Found it in airport lost and found and saved it from the trash. Finally read it four years later and really enjoyed it.

Not sure where I will leave it, probably Starbucks in Orlando.
