This one is not an email, but an actual physical mail.   Today, I got a free book from Microsoft.

?????

I'm clearly not the only person to get this book, as it was accompanied by a form letter explaining why I got it.  I just am a bit surprised.  I mean, if Microsoft wants to send me a book, I'd much prefer an Amazon gift card.  

I don't object specifically to the book.  It's one of those management technique books. I've got a number of them floating around, talking about habits, and buzzwords, and all that jazz.    Man this author has to be pumped up by having his book sent out by the cartload via Microsoft.  I mean, its a traditionally published book (imprint Wiley) so its not like they put out their own book.  I wonder if this is better than being selected for Oprah's bookclub?
