2. Email
Email everyone. Word-of-mouth is one of the best recommendations anyone can receive. It would be great if you could email your friends and tell them about Relaxing into Meditation and where they can purchase it.
Here's is a suggested email: "Ngakma Nor'dzin Pamo has written a book that's soon to become a best seller. It's entitled Relaxing into Meditation and it's available from Lulu, Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk or your local bookshop. Relaxing into Meditation has been described as 'the best book on meditation I've ever read' by reviewer Rossinna Ippolito.

Some tweet topics include 'you are buying a book', 'giving the book as a gift', attach a picture of where you're reading it, shout-out your favorite chapter or re-tweet someone else's comments. The key is to keep the conversation going. You can follow Ngakma Nor'dzin on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/nordzin.
