128 places!!?? 128 is associated with computer science (like 1024). So you could use this number in a very innovative way.
Whatever places everyone mentioned, poster, website, etc make an ad with '128' that you could put up anywhere. The first thing that comes to my mind is... "128 bytes and 128 places". Some sorta caption for your self-created campaign. Will post later if I hit upon something more creative.
Talking about the future, if you intend to get a 2nd edition and a 3rd edition on the shelf. Then I would have 256 places, 512 places and henceforth for further editions.

The full title of the book is "The Geek Atlas: 128 Places Where Science and Technology Come Alive". Of course, for people who don't understand the joke I do explain it at one point in the book where I explain the binary system.

- unalone 18y agoI just checked that out. What a neat connection to make!
