Web Marketing For Dummies Unboxing Shoot

I admit, I am way too excited about the new book. But it arrived today! Like any obsessed nerd, I decided to take a bunch of photos while I took the new book for a test drive:

First Look

Here it is, fresh outta the box:
Right outta the box
Proof positive that Elizabeth and I did write part of this book:
The authors
It’s an all-in-one, which means it’s about 8 books in a single volume. This is one big book. 2+ inches of web marketing goodness:
Yah, It's Thick

Meeting the Family

We hit it off the moment it arrived:
The book meets my grandfather’s Depression-era typewriter:
With Grandpa's Typewriter
…and my other grandfather’s Depression-era adding machine (the book kept fidgeting):
And the other Grandpa's Adding Machine
It’s always a challenge introducing a new book to the household. I was afraid they’d fight, or Conversation Marketing would sulk. But after a few nervous moments they got along famously:
The Pair
I get ready to take the book home for the first time:
Where I Go, It Goes

1001 Uses

You can read it, but it has other uses, too:
I re-enact an episode of The Shield. Tracy didn’t mind – we had ice.
Interrogation Tool
I wanted to play hide and seek but the book just couldn’t quite figure it out:
Not Good at Hide and Seek
It’s an excellent fridge deodorizer:
It Never Smells Bad
And of course, it’s a great furniture accessory:

    Isn’t everything in this shoot technically “Depression-era” now that the economy is tanking so bad?

    Great book by the way – I tried to read it in bed but realized I needed my laptop next to me for all the great links et al…
    Thanks to you and the other authors for the resource.
