Hi Mitch,

This is a great topic.

This probably isn't what you mean, but in Dec. 2000 I posted a (brief) post about a charity auction.... The item being auctioned was the name of a character in a novel - the character would be named after you! That's in ALL copies of the novel - you would be "immortalized" in the world of fiction!

Unfortunately, the article I linked to has since disappeared, but here was my post.... http://www.sowpub.com/cgi-bin/forum/webbbs_config.pl?read=2407

On the other hand, some schools are using "personalized" books as a tool to help teach kids how to read. Kids love to read books which "star" themselves, their friends, and their teacher. :)

I've linked to the article below....
