It's not about boosting sales (I think the people who signed up would have bought a copy anyway). And it's not a book club, not in the sense that a book club is a discussion about the words in a book. Instead, I'm trying to use new tools to create a different kind of interaction, one that becomes something bigger or different than the actual book. I guess it would be like Bob Vila starting a club to build a house. Thanks for the summary and the insight.
