I am going to Hong Kong this Friday for a 2-week vacation.
I usually only offer complimentary copies of my book to journalists and the like.
However, for this trip, I will make an exception to my childhood friends in Hong Kong.
Each time when I go there, they usually generously treat me for dinner or lunch.
Therefore as a reciprocal gesture, I will make a buy-one-get-one-free offer to them (a modified version). I will give them an autographed copy of my book and subtly suggest them to PURCHASE an additional copy for their friends and family.
A high school friend of mine in Hong Kong has already taken this offer and I hope that more will come!
