It took us about a year to find fantastic blogs, read through all of them (we're talking hundreds here, folks), pick out the best, vote on them, interview bloggers, edit for typos and no-nos, and so on. But Never Threaten To Eat Your Co-Workers: Best of Blogs came out smashingly thanks to the people below.

• Tell your friends and family about it:
  Never Threaten To Eat Your Co-Workers: Best of Blogs allows you to go inside the minds of extraordinary people such as a reality TV star, a war journalist, a video porn store clerk, a Star Trek child star, a public defender and more without having to leave the room. Because of the unusual collection of tales, this book really does have something for everyone. It makes a great gift for a out-of-the-culutre-loop parent or luddite pal who just doesn't understand what the heck a blog is. So tell your friends and family about the book, or better yet just buy a few copies for gift giving. Also, this book would be a great teaching tool for those folks out there in the world of education who want to introduce blogging to the next generation of would-be Hunter S. Thompsons and Alice Walkers.

• Ask your local bookstore to carry it:
  In a world of mega-book chains it may be easy to get the latest Harry Potter book, or a detective novel by Ed McBain, but some indie press books like Never Threaten To Eat Your Co-Workers: Best of Blogs could be harder to track down. If you're looking for our book in your favorite store (be it a major chain or a cozy mom & pop number) and can't locate it -- ask for it by its ISBN (1590593219). If you find the book, but it's buried in computer tech manuals or sitting next to eBay for Dummies, suggest to your friendly store clerk that the book may actually sell more copies if it's placed in the humor section, or even better the "pop culture/current events/alternative media" section that more bookstores are featuring thanks to a growing number of Gen-X customers roaming through the store.

  If you see our book in the store and happen to have a digital camera or one of those cool camera phones on you, take a picture and email it to us. We'd love to see which various stores showcase the book, and we'll put up a gallery of pics for everyone to see!
