I spent so much of my early life sitting in book stores, browsing the stacks, and consuming the knowledge to be had. Frankly, I learned more from book stores than I did from college.

Because I love bookstores so much, I’m asking you to support not just The Truth, but the bookstores that help make it a reality.

After all, if it wasn’t for those bookstores, we might not be here now.

For those of you who share my passion for bookstores, prepare to be rewarded. Because when you purchase a print copy of The Truth this week from a bookstore, there are some serious prizes to be had.

Inner Circle members, who buy a print copy of The Truth from a major online bookstore, such as Amazon.com, will receive:

• Over 100 pages of cut chapters from The Truth—including the gory details of the near murder at the love commune
• A video copy of my interview with Robert Greene, author of Mastery and The 48 Laws of Power, which has never been shared outside a group of my most respected peers.

If you choose to support a brick-and-mortar bookstore, your reward is even better—you’ll receive:

• An exclusive invite to a “Bag of Shit” telehang where we’ll explore the deep reasons why we limit ourselves.
• Your own spot in my book discussion group for The Truth
• James’ Play Party Guide— it’s so incendiary and controversial that there’s a legal disclaimer on it.

Finally, if you buy two copies from an indie bookstore—one for you, one for your present or future partner—you’ll receive the biggest reward of all:

• A golden ticket to join me in Las Vegas in December for a special celebration and “learn The Truth” day. And if you don’t make it in person, we’ll live stream the event to you.

Take a photo of yourself with your print copy of The Truth and a photo of your receipt. Then send the photos to:

[email protected]

Include what kind of bookstore you bought your copy at in the subject line (i.e. “Major Online Bookstore,” “Brick-and-Mortar Bookstore,” or “Indie Bookstore”).

And if you went wild, because you want to give a copy to everyone in your life, like the Grantland review recommended, send a separate email for each reward level you’d like to claim.

Note: If you already pre-ordered a print copy of The Truth, you’re eligible for these rewards. Just follow the instructions above. If you pre-ordered an e-book or audiobook copy, you should still order the print copy because it’s gorgeous.
