Came across Letters from a Nut in a bookstore (yes I was in an actual physical independent bookstore, they do still exist, go buy some books at one if you can!). This guy writes insane letters and gets responses from places like The Baseball Hall of Fame (he offered to donate a full set of Mickey Mantle’s toenail clippings). It reminded me of a book I gave a friend a while back: Idiot Letters: One Man’s Relentless Assault on Corporate America. In my continued mulling over digital vs physical items, I am wondering whether companies would take email queries with the same seriousness as these typewritten/word processed letters. Email is just too easy and cheap to produce, and there’s a lot of crackpots sending idiotic email anyway. But could someone achieve the same results using email as these guys did with snail mail? Anyone want to give it a try? Perhaps someone already is!
