Seth Godin’s book Small is the New Bigis a compilation of 183 Blog posts of his on out of the box thinking and marketing in the internet age.

Again, I highly recommend this book and it is perfect for summer vacation reading. You can get it on Amazon HERE. What are you reading this summer? Comment below… show us your alive! 🙂
