What examples are drawn on is something I often check when I am choosing books in this sort of area.
I thought it might make an interesting although slightly nerdy thing to post anyway. I was going to use the Index but discovered that I needed to go through it manually as many had fallen through that net. If anyone from any of the specific projects, campaigns, or ventures below see this do mail me for a signed copy (Andy from MindApples and Luke from kept just got theirs today). Obviously I cant give free copies to every employee of eBay or everyone who ever bought Fairtrade, but I'd love to give something back to the examples I love and quote within reason - so lets say the first 30 genuine responses? :J

Hi John
Long time since I've commented but I am a life long Ipswich Town fan so was intrigued by the reference. Goes without saying that I've been a fan of yours for almost as long!!
