Someone’s book launch invites – The Little Book of Bray & Enniskerry by Brian White – were left in a Dublin Bike basket on Western Way/Broadstone bike rank [Dublin 7] last night…Thought I’d take ’em with me for safe keepin’
Anyone?

Bray is to Enniskerry what Drimnagh is to Donnbrook. Strange subject choice. Be surprised if the book is bought by anyone other than friends and family trying to support the author. Must be self published.
Eh, if you were from either area you’d know better. Enniskerry is a somewhat rural village one side of the N11, it could be considered by many (along with Kilmacanogue) to be a “suburb” of the much larger urban area of Bray on the other side. Certainly given the 6km between them, there’s a lot of shared history and connections there, based on my own personal experience. Same principle applies to Kilcoole/Delgany to Greystones further down the N11. Drimnagh and Donnybrook are two very separate and distinct Dublin districts without much in the way of a shared history.
If only there was some old cliche about judging books and covers.
Ah, thats good viral load marketing
If only… I found the fliers with a receipt from Reids in the basket, someone’s out €60 and missing their invites. Tried tweeting/mailing the publisher… no response yet, and can’t find the author… as yet.
Being reunited with their owner now… good deed for the day done, cheers Broadsheet :)
We would love to say this was viral marketing … it was, unfortunately, more a case of thinking about lunch.
Many thanks to John, very kind and much appreciated! We’ll get in touch now.
Aw, nice to see a nice resolution to these things.
Good luck with the book!!
…don’t spoil it Ronan…you should write a book on guerrilla marketing…
Cheers! If we did though, God knows where we’d lose the manuscript.
Heh! :)
