Not to split hairs, but I think the the average season's ticket holder has at least a pair of tickets, so you are only spending, at most, 3 times more than those other "clients".
Yes, I agree that someone who supports the Lions with 6 season tickets should receive extra consideration, or additional graft, compared to the STH who only buys 2, but I don't think sending a pile of books to one address is the best way to reward these people.
Alright, I can accept that, except that even a single ST holder will get a book.

Unfortunately that is not the case..... :lol: 8)
I am just trying to do my part in helping my children to understand and be part of the Lions.

Well...Mr. Rammer. If you didn't get it for free, you were going to buy multiple copies anyways, weren't you?
If it will end the subject, i'll offer to buy each of your kids a copy myself!!!
:P

That isn't the point Charlene. But I have said enough on the subject, I see.

Damn........I saw David Braley at the Stamps/Ticat game tonight.........I should have thanked him for all you guys/gals.
I find it amazing, the guy comes strolling thru the gates with all the rest of the fans.......no special entrance or anything else......just a regular fan.

Braley is amazing. That book cost over $5.50 in postage to mail each copy, plus the costs of the book itself, and probably not a single recipient would have expected to receive it for free. What a wonderful gift, for Ackles and the fans.

It is a class act by Braley and the organization to distribute the book to fans so early after launch!!

Those bubble envelopes are also an expense, I reckon.

And the labour to mail them all out.

Wow... didn't realize each account averages at least 3 season tickets. From today's Greg Douglas column:
HERE 'N' THERE: In publishing circles, a best-seller in Canada is a book that sells 5,000 or more copies. That means the Bob Ackles autobiography The Water Boy that came out just last week is already a Canadian best-seller because B.C. Lions' owner David Braley purchased 6,000 copies for Leos season subscribers. The Lions have roughly 21,000 season ticket holders but they're listed as 6,000 accounts
