Thank you fellow business book authors
11,000 business books are published each year. The published ideas in these books educate, inform, and influence how people go to work every day. As an author, I like to think that our efforts help to make people more successful. It is an honor that tens of thousands of people have invested time and money to read what I am passionate about.
800-CEO-READ (8CR) is the premier business bookseller and is used by corporations to buy copies of the best business books available. They created the 800-CEO-READ Business Book Awards to recognize the best business books of 2007.
How cool is it that my book The New Rules of Marketing & PR was selected as "authors choice" from nearly 300 books submitted. I’m stunned that my fellow business book authors chose my book as a best title of the year. If you voted for me, thank you!
Please check out all the terrific books that were selected. These authors work really hard to write great books.
Congrats David. I did wonder however why your book was one of two (selling sucks) that didn't have a synopsis,description, nugget of wisdom from Meerman Scott, etc. Seemed like a missed opportunity.

Hi Christopher,
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. But I am thrilled to have earned the honor.
Best David

David:
Congratulations! As I mentioned in an email a while back, we have two copies around our office here and I'm encouraging the whole team to read it. I'm also using some of the ideas and advice to improve the marketing of our firm in the consulting world.
Best wishes for continued success.

Wow! Congratulations are definitely in order here. Being chosen as the author choice out of 300 books is a very special thing indeed. But I'm also looking forward to the other titles being featured in 800-ceo. A Demon of Our Own Design looks pretty interesting.
