The first copy of Tactical Transparency
The doorbell rang late yesterday. I was ready to be assailed by yet another advocate for or against one of the ballot propositions, but it turned out to be my regular UPS guy with an envelope containing one copy of the new book I have co-authored with John C. Havens, “Tactical Transparency.” The official release date is November 8, but it’s great to have a copy to show off. It’s only my second hardcover (the first was “Corporate Conversations”), and the production values are great. Most flattering are the testimonials from the likes of Chris Brogan, Andy Sernovitz, Paul Levy, Jonathan Schwartz, David Meerman Scott, Pete Blackshaw, and Jackie Huba.
In the spirit of transparency, all of the 50 or so interviews conducted for the book can be heard in their entirety at the BlogTalk Radio site where they were recorded. We also have a blog dedicated to the book. And we’ll have a special site launching shortly with a short-term promotion for the book’s launch. I’ll let you know when that site is up.
The book was published by Jossey-Bass, a Wiley imprint, as part of the IABC publishing series. I can’t begin to express how thrilled I am to have been involved with John, the folks at IABC, and the folks at Jossey-Bass, not to mention our agent, Yvonne Divita. And I also can’t begin to express how thrilling it is—no matter how many books you write—to hold the final product in your hands!
