Get a Signed Book Plate!
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.
Finally, if you sign up for the Bulletin premium subscription plus do all the above to get a signed book plate, you’ll also receive a POAP.
