Unfortunately (for him) he didn't know that my 6ft 4 teenage son was sitting at the back of the room, glowering at him. To promote the Kindle editions, I make nice postcards on Moo.com and give them out at gigs. I do see sales from them - not massive, but the odd small spike in sales after an event. I think people are more inclined to keep a postcard than a leaflet.

I do hope, however, that after you launched your quantum sheep, they had a safe landing. And I find postcards featuring the book cover work well for Kindle books.
