Off-topic but on Wikia's homepage a big map of Westeros came up and written on it was "Where was Daenerys Targaryen?" Which reminded me of this thread. (Can't seem to find it anymore.) It's an ad for Wikia's maps project. Here is one from the Game of Thrones wiki. It doesn't seem that complicated so perhaps we should make one for the Second Apocalypse series. Or if we're feeling ambitious we could try something like - I know I'm dreaming - those two.

eta: Sorry, just realized that this is way off-topic, so feel free to move/delete/ban.

Not a big deal Ashtinahgma, your post might be moved to the other Disseminating Bakker topic at some point.

Anyway, those maps are awesome. It would be great to get something like that for Earwa. The Wikia one might be doable, but the interactive LOTR map would take more computer prowess than I will ever have.

Dropped about 30 at Half Price Books

Simmons, Salvatore, Tolkien 

FUCKIN A WILSHIRE!!!  It is beautiful to see.  Wish I had a half-price around here...
I forget about Dan Simmons; bet there's a lot of people who fall into the Simmons/Bakker overlap.

Thanks MG. I liked your posting format, so I copied it.

Didn't end up getting to any book sores on my vacation, but there are at least 3 more up here I can drop some off at. Might have to revisit them a few times.

I was back at Chapters to pick up a book ordered for school (that makes three books and dozens of pdfs to read before September but thankfully yesterday was my last day at work here down south). All of my bookmarks were gone (and I can't imagine that they sold). Made sure that in this second engagement none were peeking out of the books at all.

Gotta be more sneaky. You should have asked about it. "Last time I was here I got a free bookmark in my book, got any more?"

Bakker fans could do this for any in store purchase.  Find the book you want, stick a book mark in it, ask the check out person "Who are the Dunyain?"  makes buzz?

[Wilshire]

I've double backed to a store that I propped several in and they the books that remain still have the (book)Marks. None of them are visible.

Found a tiny used-books store close to my house. Will continue to seed the "new" books that come through.

First time I've seen this thread, mrwutteat is an inspiration. So glad Bakker has such dedicated fans like him and the peeps on this board. What Bakker's fanbase lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality

Thanks for the encouragement. The goal of course would be to get more people to do this. Have WatD? bookmarks show up everywhere there is a fan to place them.

There is a Barns & Noble near my house that I need to get to.

Is it an option to add a qr code to the Amazon link to tDtCB? Or do we not want to link anywhere? I'm not sure it's breaking some British law if you do that.

[Wilshire]

"Branding" came up a few times when this was initially being discussed.

QR code was never brought up.  Might be a decent way to advertise and skirt potential legal issues. Though, then it looks more like commercial advertising and might have a great chance to be removed from books if it were seen.

The grand scheme was to have the curious search google and end up here, however a google search doesn't really lead to anywhere useful at this point and presumably we haven't dropped enough bookmarks to see any impact.

Might be a better idea just to point directly to amazon. Not sure though.

Left some bookmarks around Toronto. They look good . Thanks, Somnambulist, MG, GJ for your trifecta effort in creating novelty.

This idea is absolutely fantastic guys!

So long as you guys don't mind me hoping on the movement here, I can canvas little old London, ON
