THE RETURN OF SF has been doing well, but Dejohn and I really wanna get the word out more about this great book as we're sure everyone would enjoy it. We'd like to hear your most creative ideas to get the word out, and Dejohn will award prizes to those who've implemented them! What have you done in the past at school, work, community, family, or on the internet -- or anywhere else -- that you've successfully told or demonstrated to others something you were passionate about? If you're willing to do it for THE RETURN OF SF -- you may win some great RoSF prizes (books, caps, t-shirts, etc)! What you need to do is come up with a great idea, then implement it, to help spread the word. Do you have the ultimate publicity idea? There will be one winner each week for the next 6 weeks, announced each Monday, starting Nov 10th (if there are enough entrants this week). You may submit your entry here, or, if you don't want the competition to see what you're up to, you can email Dejohn directly at dejohnenterprise@aol.com. It can be over-the-top (but nothing illegal or dangerous please), or something simple. As long as you help spread the word. If you want to promote the RoSF website, the address is http://www.TheReturnOfSF.com/ This contest is open to anyone around the world. Implementations are subject to verification. Let me know what you think... P.S. Next month Dejohn is gonna join us for a live chat to talk about RoSF, so I hope y'all are reading your copies!

here's my idea: if you have banners for the book, put them up in stores that're located in a place where many people go. it'd be better if it were at a store that sells books AND videos/dvds, such as Borders. i know how they're a major company and might not have the book, so you could try a popular "mom and pop" store in your area that you know is popular. you could also help sponsor things like maybe a new restaurant in your area that is opening. see if there are anymore popular sites like this one that you could put a banner on too. also, billboards on highways are also a good way to attract viewers. -Pat

I really don't know if you could do this, but maybe you could put advertisments inside the new Scarface DVD (like the Def Jam ads). I'd think that would help sell a few copies.

Magazine ads work well, a good place to advertize it is in a magazine like "The Source" because as you know a lot of people that listen to rap music probably like Scarface also, becuase there rapper idols do. I also dont think that "The Source" charges a lot for ads. You might also try a magazine ad partering with Univeral advertizing the DVD and in the corner also giving the information about the book.

Ideas like these are great - but I think the idea is to actually implement (do) something like what you're talking about...
For instance: If you guys were given postcards or posters or flyers or things like that, would you be willing to hand them out or post them to appropriate people/places? Especially with a photo of the results?

This week's winner(s) will be announced Monday afternoon, around 6PM ET.
Keep your ideas coming for next week - and remember, you'll have a much better shot at winning if you actually DO your idea. I'll have to ask Dejohn if he'd supply people w/ items to hang or hand out...

Congratulations to the Winners of Week #1! DannyMontana - For spreading the word among his friends and classmates Taylor - For posting the RoSF banner to his Scarface-related ebay listing Dejohn picked the winners himself and told me who they are. The winners should email Dejohn at dejohnenterprise@aol.com to be sure he has your name and address to mail your prizes. You all had good ideas - and for Week 2 Dejohn hopes that you will take a more active approach. There are a few things you can do, fairly easily, so you should put your thinking caps on It probably won't get easier after this week, so please try to be more actively creative. But you're all on the right track! P.S. If you didn't win this week, don't worry - there's still plenty of time!

Good going guys! How's this for advertising: I got a white shirt and wrote: "The Return of Scarface" on the front and "www.thereturnofsf.com" on the back and wore it around town on Saturday. You wouldn't believe the looks I got! I think I have some pictures if anyone wants to see them

Whoa, just noticed this. I've already told all my friends about it and pointed them to the website. Most are interested since we are all movie-loving freaks who, for the most part, consider Scarface to be an excellent movie. Since I don't have a job, I can't get any proper permission to design flyers and hang them around, but I will continue spreading the word throughout school (I already made my friends order copies of Paul Monette's Scarface from Amazon -- I too ordered one and am expecting delivery). Hope this helps get the book some recognition (and finally be available on Amazon!).
Oh, and I'll try mentioning it on the GameFaqs message boards (my username is "DOGG").

i will advertise the website in my buddy profile and i will put a small poster above every urinal in the boys bathroom, and i will put flyers in every car in my neigborhood mall's parking garage. I will also put a small poster of the title with information in every bus stop in Arlington.i would also participate in my school's bake sale, and bake apple pies, and when you finish the pies, the book cover and information would be right there.
