I loved it! I would have bought the book, hopefully picking it up from one of the ones that guy knocked on the ground. Also, if I worked at that bookstore, I would have been pissed at your company for doing that. I would not want to have to restack all those books.
But, seriously, it *is* kind of cool to see support like that for a book. Especially if it’s just random, grassroots support and not put out by the publisher/marketer.
Soooooo, are you saying you have nothing to do with the …ahem….guerilla marketing tactics in other countries? lol because i so would have planned this.
I’ve asked a friend in Poznan, Poland if book promos like this are normal over there. Somehow, I suspect that there will soon be a Polish phrase for “Wendigging” though.

Pretty cool, and I hope to have that kind of support for a book, but WTF?! ROFL!

I had not seen the Polish cover, but it’s a beautiful take on the original, which is straight-up classic, in my book.
