It's finally happening: [Employees are returning to the office](https://fortune.com/2021/04/14/covid-return-to-work-back-to-the-office-wfh-end-of-work-from-home-recovery/?ref=philsimon.com). Workers are looking for clarity, [flexibility](https://www.surveymonkey.com/curiosity/future-of-work-zoom-poll/?ref=philsimon.com), and, in many instances, [a reason to leave their homes](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index/hybrid-work?ref=philsimon.com).

Brass tacks: It's no understatement to say that these are unprecedented and disruptive times. Foolish is the soul who thinks that everyone will permanently return to pre-pandemic work schedules and mores.

Against this backdrop, I'm making custom editions of my award-winning book *Reimagining Collaboration* available. Here's how it would work.

Executives agree with [the general message of the book](https://www.philsimon.com/books/reimagining-collaboration/). (#VirtueSignaling) Still, they want to put their own spin on it and give to their employees and/or customers. They'll do this by writing four- to five-page forewords with their individual takes on the fascinating future of work and what their organization is doing to prepare. Ideally, their takes align nicely with the core themes of *Reimagining Collaboration*. What's more, the execs' names and titles would adorn the cover of this version of the book. Finally, we could put the organization's logo on the cover, probably in the upper right-hand corner.

Here's a laughably crude mock-up. Final versions will look much better.

## Target Audiences

I can envision a number of different homes for bespoke versions of my book. In no particular order:

- Upscale furniture outlets such as [Steelcase](https://www.steelcase.com/?ref=philsimon.com), Haworth, ELEMENTS, HNI Corporation, Inscape, Officescapes, and Herman Miller. For the most part, these companies are smartly [leaning in to the WFH phenomenon](https://www.hermanmiller.com/work-from-home/?ref=philsimon.com). With respect to my book, the opportunity here is two-fold. Employees could receive books as gifts. (Better than [bees](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5J2kc4oZTVU&ref=philsimon.com), I guess.) As for consumers, I could also see them as throw-ins with qualified purchases or salable products with SKUs.
- FedexKinko's, UPS Stores, Staples, OfficeDepot, and their ilk.
- Co-working spaces.
- Book-subscription services, particularly those aimed at business audiences.
- Business book clubs.
- Business groups, such as the Chamber of Commerce.
- Hotels.
- Companies that specialize in [corporate gifts and swag](https://www.wsj.com/articles/gifting-as-a-service-companies-want-to-rid-the-world-of-unused-corporate-swag-11618999201?ref=philsimon.com).
- Conferences, even if I'm not [speaking](https://www.philsimon.com/speaking) at them.
- HR think tanks such as [SHRM](https://www.shrm.org/?ref=philsimon.com). Members could receive as physical copies as part of their annual dues.
- Universities, especially for exec-education programs.
- HR consulting outfits such as Mercer and Deloitte.
- [Prefab office manufacturers](https://www.dwell.com/article/prefab-home-office-accessory-dwelling-units-efab1374?ref=philsimon.com).

## Other Logistics

At the risk of stating the obvious, paperback versions will cost far less than their hardcover counterparts—although both are on the table. To make the per-unit price cost-effective, an organization will need to purchase no fewer than 200 copies. Larger orders will drop the per-unit price considerably. If we hit 1,000, then the number really plummets. Oh, and copies—no matter how many—do not include rights to the book's intellectual property. That stays with me.
