Hi, Richard,

THE AGE OF THE NETWORK:  ORGANIZING PRINCIPLES FOR
THE 21ST CENTURY, our new book, is just being published!
As a valued member of our network, we ask your help in
putting its message--transforming organizations in place--
into practice ASAP.

"Walking our talk," we are using e-mail--the most 
powerful, instantaneous networking technology--to carry 
out a "speed-of-light" marketing strategy.  To get
the book out as fast as possible to change agents and
innovators like you who need to see it immediately, we're
trying a networking "proof of concept."  This experiment
embodies the Five TeamNet Principles of "voluntary links"
among "independent members" sharing a "common purpose"
with "multiple leaders" working on many "levels".

First, through a special arrangement with Oliver Wight,
our wonderful publisher, you can order THE AGE OF THE NETWORK
today at a 10% savings (only $21.60 plus shipping and 
handling) by replying to this e-mail, with your billing 
address.  Or, you may call our publisher's toll free number:
1-800-343-0625 and identify yourself as a "Networking 
Institute Networker." Because the book may not have reached
your local bookstore yet, this is the quickest way to get your
copy!  Volume discounts are also available.  This offer
expires December 31, 1994.  

Second, because people connect before organizations do, 
we ask your help:  After you've read THE AGE OF THE 
NETWORK, if you believe it can help organizations and 
people make this transition, please add your "branch" to 
our "trunk" by forwarding this e-mail message (or 
transmitting it by fax or snail mail) to your own network
and repeating the offer.  If they send me a mail message
with their billing address (or call the 800 number) and
identify themselves as part of your network, they'll get
a similar discount.

We are flattered that some powerful and respected 
business change agents have endorsed the book.  Yet, in 
the spirit of networking, we suspect that your own 
endorsement and your interpretation of its relevance to 
the lives and work of those in your personal network will 
be more influential in their decisions to buy the book and 
apply its lessons.

Yours in networking,

Jessica Lipnack and Jeff Stamps
