GRAVITY FREE: 2008   BOOKCLUB


FREE BOOKS: When you register for GRAVITY FREE: 2007, you are automatically enrolled in the GRAVITY FREE Book Club at no extra cost. About once a month until conference time, you receive a package containing important new works – books, CDs, PDFs – which relate in some way to the upcoming GRAVITY FREE conference. The idea is to further deepen the connections within the GRAVITY FREE community and ensure that we arrive at GRAVITY FREE already exposed to a common set of powerful ideas, images and emotions.

This is a thank you for your early paid registration. We do not order additional books based on speculative registrations, so there are no retroactive shipments once a mailing is completed. I encourage you to register soon.

— Lee Knight
