A modest thank you gift to Bears' Guide buyers

[John Bear]

The new 14th edition of Bears' Guide is finally out -- seems it took forever -- but I think it turned out swell -- and I'd like to 'give back' a little something to the very kind news group participants who have been so supportive in these complicated times.

There has been a plan afoot for a multimedia approach to selling Bears’ Guide, with an accompanying talk by yours truly -- a 60-minute CD presentation on the matter of earning degrees at a distance, including facts, strategies, stories from the trenches, advice, whatever. It should exist in about a month, if all goes well. There is no decision yet as to whether it will be sold separately, or eventually included with the book, or used for other ‘promotional’ deals or even used at all.

In any event, I’d be glad to send this free CD to people who buy the 14th edition in the next couple of months. How will I know? How about this: either send me a copy of a sales receipt, or a photo of yourself holding the book. Disguises acceptable. This could happen by Email attachment, US mail, or fax, along with the place to mail it. I’ll pay the postage, even international. The offer is good for requests received by March 31st. Please don’t ask after this date, or ask to get or buy one if you don’t have the 14th edition; I do not wish to go into the CD fulfillment business.

Thank you.

John

Dr. Bear---

Thanks for the CD offer! I have buying your guides for years now and I look forward to the newest edition, bonus freebie or not.

Regards,

Jeffrey

Dr. Bear,

I'm going to buy this just as soon as I see a copy at one of my local bookstores. Partially this is because of your reputation and the great reviews of your other books.

But I have to confess that I mostly want to do it as my way of thumbing my nose at that factwatcher idiot.

[It's got to be killing him that he can't post on this Board!]

John, does this apply to my autographed copy?

Hi, John---I looked for your book at Borders today. It wasn't there yet. I'll try again in a couple of days.
