While Robert Langdon was probably running around finding clues where none existed (all over the course of 12 hours), we were doing more or less the same - packing the 600 or so backorders as fast as we could! That’s 50 books an hour, no matter how you slice it.
Not to mention all the other orders that needed to be processed.
Dan Brown Bounty
I wonder how some people found time to pose? Oh yeah, I forced them to.
Sachin Bansal (Flipkart Co-Founder) for Scale
Sachin’s in a conservative fatherly / elder brotherly arm around. He’s probably thinking “All of you Lost Symbols will be shipped to all parts of India by the end of today … I wish you all the best in your new homes.” Very Father-of-the-Bride like.
Mekin For Scale
Contrastingly, Mekin’s is a long-lost friend / cousin approach. “My my, look how fat you’ve become! Too many pizzas and beer, this is what happens.” Even Nandu on the left corner of the frame looks more than a little concerned with Mekin’s unorthodox approach.
Shivku's Head For Scale
Here’s my favouritest of them all, a decapitated Shivku. If I had a buck for every time I imagined a floating Shivku head …
But we got them ready and out in time, some in gift wraps, some with notes. Almost all of you will have received them now, and if you haven’t yet bought one and plan to - here’s a good online bookstore to buy Dan Brown’s Lost Symbol in India.
I’ve heard they can ship it out in 24 hours.
What?? Shameless plug, of course.
