Anyhow, I'm reading a book called Only Bees Die by Robert Keller, MBA, in preparation for my service in Albania (Keller did Peace Corps in Albania). His book is a great read and my only problem with it is that it keeps me up too late. I ordered the paperback online (very, very unusual of me) and then remembered that I only want to bring ebooks with me. So I figured I'd look up Mr. Keller and make a request. Like they say: Ask and you shall receive.
After about 40 minutes on Google, I think I found his email. The email I sent him still hasn't bounced back so I'm guessing it's okay. Here's what I wrote:
Dear Mr. Keller,
Through the recommendations of the Peace Corps network and my future G14 "brothers and sisters" I ordered your book, Only Bees Die. It arrived on my doorstep a few days ago and I've been tearing through it. You definitely did a great job making me laugh and alleviating some of the fears that have crossed my mind.
Halfway through the book, I realized that this is without a doubt a book I'd like to bring during my service. Originally I was hoping to only bring ebooks with me but I absentmindedly purchased the paperback version. I'm hoping you'd be willing to send me the ebook version.
One last thing. I noticed you didn't copyright your material. Why did you choose to do that?
Sincerely,
Alex
P.S. You are somewhat difficult to track down online. I'm assuming you choose to be. Is that so?
I really hope he responds.
