Amazing! Now the question is whether the embossed books are likelier to get returned than the signed ones.

A proper question for scientific testing, I shall report back 😁

Love it! I take it the thing sticks the label on at the same time that it embosses?

hkandersen.bsky.social•53 days ago

It can emboss directly onto the paper, or onto a sticker (like this one) that you can peel and stick anywhere

SWEET

Ooh, very nice. And love the picture. I’m actually thinking of including it in a course I’m planning. Such a great book.

hkandersen.bsky.social•53 days ago

It worked so well in class. Another that has worked even better than I had expected is Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle, we just finished it

hishamzerriffi.bsky.social•52 days ago

It’s a course on sustainable futures so not sure the Tingle book will quite fit. 😀

hkandersen.bsky.social•52 days ago

True! Terraformers by Annalee Newitz is up next for us, that would definitely fit

hishamzerriffi.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yup. They’re giving a guest lecture on worldbuilding using Terraformers to my undergrad class next week and am very excited.

There's a youtuber I follow doing a series called Emboss or Toss that is very satisfying

hkandersen.bsky.social•53 days ago

That does sound satisfying, I will check it out

jlphistory.bsky.social•53 days ago

That's a lovely gift!
