Two years ago I wrote an awesome book called Lawyer Boy. Some guy is selling a signed copy on Amazon.com right now… for $132.00.
Folks, for that kind of money, I’ll write you a personalized Lawyer Boy copy by hand, in your favorite color ink.
Check out the lovely description the book re-seller posted:
Ah, the wonders of Amazon.
“This copy is very prominently, beautifully, and hilariously signed and inscribed in black marker on the title page by the author: Thanks for picking my book up! Rick Lax. He underlined each and every word, and crossed out his printed name. There's more: If you need a good lawyer, [he then thoughtfully provides his personal information. Please view the accompanying scan to see it verbatim]. Then, on the opposite page, he adds a funny caveat: But wait til I pass the bar!* Lax also prominently and beautifully signed in black marker his author photograph on the DJ back flap and added a magician's moustache and goatee to his portrait. This title is now highly collectible. This is the best signed copy we have ever found, is the only such signed and inscribed copy available online, and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. A rare, one-of-a-kind signed copy.”
I love how this guy calling the mustache I’d drawn onto my photo a “magician’s mustache.” Basically, I defaced the book and the guy turned it into a positive. Perhaps I should hire him as a publicist for my upcoming Vegas book…
*I’ve since passed the bar.
