Yclick.it - A Blog Exploring Persuasive Website Design

Help Your Visitors Buy Your Book Locally

Dave Shea is a freelance designer based in Canada. He is well known as the creator of the CSS Zen Garden which brilliantly demonstrated the power of Cascading Style Sheets for web design.

Today many authors are using internet strategies to promote their books and ideas. Seth Godin, Malcolm Gladwell, Guy Kawasaki, Steve Krug to name just a few of the heavy hitters. Only yesterday I heard that Brian Clark of Copyblogger has been writing a book through his blog. As a loyal reader over the last year, I’m looking forward to that.

Dave Shea is an author too - he co-wrote the book ‘The Zen of CSS Design’. He promotes the book on his website. What I noticed is that he makes it easy for a visitor to buy the book in an online store local to them. Nine different stores in fact. Simple text links with the country code for each shop.
