LINCHPIN Unboxing!

Hot off the press and before you can buy it, I just got a review copy of Seth Godin’s latest book, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?.  It just came in about 15 minutes ago so we don’t have a proper review ready for you yet, but we do have what may be the very first “unboxing” of a book.

First impressions:

• This is physically bigger than the previous few Godin titles
• Still no index – at least Seth’s consistent
• Cool layout and binding
• Jacket has a bazillion thumbnails and a “hidden message”?!

Flipping through the contents (aka “A First Look at Linchpin”), this book seems like it might pick up exactly where “Tribes” left off.  Instead of focusing on modern marketing, it looks like it will concentrate on the people that do the work, how they can do things better, and why they/we must.

Enjoy the photos.  Look for a full review early next week (sorry GOOGLED, you just got bumped).  Would also be awesome to get a quick interview up here with Seth as well.

Disclosures: To get this review copy, I had to make a minimum donation of $30 to The Acumen Fund.  I’m also a Seth Godin fan and went to a full one day seminar with him on November 19, 2009.
