By the way, if you haven't done your Christmas shopping yet, and you don't want to spend tons of money on stuff you don't know if people will like... my book, Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan
Look, it even has a Christmas-colored cover!
By the way, I'll be doing a holiday card giveaway contest later this week. Make sure you check back in for a chance to receive an awesome Japanese pop art postcard from yours truly.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Sounds like a good idea.
"You can tell him you met the author on the Internet." is an OK touch...but how about a signed copy?
