Why, that's just RDQLUS!

I've mentioned Identity Crisis contributor, cyber design community buddy, and real world friend Steve Gordon previously in this blog. However, I do want to thank him for them mention of the book on Str8 Up RDQLUS.

The release of Identity Crisis 'across the pond?'

I've been getting an increasing number of questions, on design forums and via email, about the release of Identity Crisis!: 50 Redesigns That Transformed Stale Identities into Successful Brands in the U.K. and throughout Europe. It looks like the distributor for that region of the world, David & Charles has the book scheduled for a December 2007 release.

The book is available for pre-sales on the Amazon.com sites in the United Kingdom, France and Germany. Do keep an eye on the shelves of your local independent bookstores - it may appear earlier than expected.

'The Persuader' persuades othersto give Identity Crisis! a look

When originally planning the book Identity Crisis!, I knew that I wanted to include Jack Yan, publisher of Lucire and CEO of the global media and communications company Jack Yan & Associates, in some capacity. I was honored when he agreed to be a W.O.W. (Words of Wisdom) contributor.

This evening I was checking out his blog, The Persuader, and was incredibly surprised and flattered to see that he had written about the book today. Thank you very much, Jack!

Words On The Page posts 'Identity Crisis!' words

I wanted to thank writer and editor Lori Widmer for sending me some "link love" from her blog Words On The Page. Lori and I have been bumping into each other on writing forums and other Internet sites for several years. Thanks Lori!

Inkthinker gives "Identity Crisis!" virtual ink

Cyber-friend, and sometimes client, Kristen King has given Identity Crisis! some virtual press on her copywriting blog, Inkthinker (and it's so nice that her blog and my book cover are color coordinated!). Thanks Kristen!

Identity Crisis! found on biznik home page

This morning I got an email newsletter from biznik (Business Networking That Doesn't Suck) mentioning that the site had teamed up with Ilise Benun and Marketing Mix to offer a steady stream of new business tips on the home page.

There on biznik's home page, under the heading "Indie biz tips from Marketing Mix," was Ilise's Marketing Mix blog entry about Identity Crisis!: 50 redesigns that transformed stale identities into successful brands.

Not a bad way to start the day...

Identity Crisis! shows up on Dexinger

I just had an email from a designer friend letting me know that they had spotted Identity Crisis! on the homepage of the international design portal Dexinger this morning (above). They also posted an additional blurb in the news section - as well as my complete press release. Thanks Dexinger!
