RE: My book, America Bizarro
Hey, just wanted to let you know my book, America Bizarro, is about to be
published. You might consider buying a copy when it comes out. It's a really
cool book and I can't wait until it actually hits the bookstores.

RE: My book, America Bizarro
Great news. My book is now available at bookstores and at all the online
booksellers. I hope you'll consider buying a copy. It's my first book, after
all! And yes, I will sign it if you bring it into the office.

RE: My book, America Bizarro
Hey, just curious. Have you bought a copy of my book yet?

RE: My book, America Bizarro
Let's have our meeting during lunch today. Things are just so crazy, and we
really need to put in the hours. Of course if you want to run to the
bookstore and pick up a copy of my book, that's cool. But perhaps you've
already bought a copy of my book. Bring it to the lunch and I'll sign your
copy.

RE: My book, America Bizarro
Can you come in this Saturday? We really have to get this project done, and
I think we're going to need the weekend. Let's meet for coffee at the Barnes
& Noble around the corner, and we can go over things there, so it doesn't
feel like we're at the office on a Saturday. That way you can also pick up a
copy of my book, if you haven't already done so.

RE: My book, America Bizarro
At this meeting, make sure you bring up my book. I don't want to be the one
who brings it up, but if you start the conversation, people will ask me
questions, and then I can talk about it. Okay? Just say something like, "Hey
everyone, Nelson's cool new book just came out," or something like that.

RE: My book, America Bizarro
Hey, I just wanted to remind you that I've got to do your six month review
by the end of the week. Also, have you bought my book yet? Let me know.
