Here is a simple but powerful rule - always give people more than what they expect to get

“Greetings from Amazon.co.uk,
We thought you would like to know that the following items have been sent to: …”

Now that’s customer service. I ordered yesterday, and part of the order is shipped today. Amazon are always fast and reliable, but this…phew. Me likey!

So what was shipped today?
Batman: The Killing Joke by Alan Moore (graphic novel)
Batman: Arkham Asylum by Grant Morrisson (graphic novel)
Absolute Sandman: Volume 3 by Neil Gaiman (collects a number of Sandman graphic novels)
The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made by David Hughes (non-fiction)
Forensics and Fiction: Clever, Intriguing, and Downright Odd Questions from Crime Writers by Douglas P Lyle (non-fiction)

Hooray! Hooray!

Damn that's a sexy-looking list.
Having ordered them Batman books, do you already own The Dark Knight returns?
If not, hurry up and change that fact.

And it's only the beginning...

Yes, I own The Dark Knight Returns. If anyone claims to like Batman and doesn't own it, they're lying *grin* Though I have developed an aversion to Frank MIller lately...
