What is a Very Important Book
A book that makes you happier, a book that makes you healthier, a book that
turns your world upside down, a book that leaves you thinking, a book that changes your life,
a book that will avert world war three, a book that will make the world a better place. A book that you want to promote through this website. That's a Very Important Book!
How do I promote a Very Important Book
You can use this website to print an insert like this one. Each book is assigned a unique code that allows
readers to track the books progress and read comments from the contributer and other readers. To register a book
all you need to do is print out an insert and write a bit about why you think the book is so important. Then you
are ready to attach your insert and pass the book to the first of a long chain of readers.
How NOT to use this website
-
Very Important Books is not a way to dispose of unwanted books. Pass your unwanted books on to a friend,
or charity/thrift shop, but please only use this website to promote Very Important Books. We expect that you will want
to buy a second copy of your Very Important Book for yourself.
- Very Important Books is not a way to acquire new books. Very Important Books are passed on with the expectation that
each reader will passed then to another potential reader. If you find that you want a copy of the book for yourself, please buy it. Of course if you feel as strongly
as the original contributor you can register another copy of the book too!
- Very Important Books is not the same as BookCrossing. We do not expect
your book to be left on park benches, or train seats. Its too important to be to be left to the winds of fate
like that. Instead we expect each reader to pass your book onto another potential reader, and we expect our readers to take responsibility for keeping the book moving.
