Many of you have asked me how you can get a signed copy of the book. Here’s how:
- Pre-order the book, which you can do at bit.ly/cryptopians.
- Make a social media post about the book that includes the pre-order link, bit.ly/cryptoptians, or to the book on any bookseller of your choice.
- Send a copy of your receipt to hello@unchainedpodcast.com with the subject line, “signed book plate.”
- In the email, include a pdf of your receipt + a screenshot of or a link to your social media post + the address to which you’d like me to send the book plate + the name of who you’d like me to dedicate the book plate to.
If you show a pre-order receipt that shows you bought more than one format of the book, such as an audiobook and a hardcover, you can get two signed book plates.
