A book owner is given an offer or incentive to alter a book in a way that will minimize and, ideally, eliminate the potential for resale. In the preferred embodiment, the cover of the book includes a mail-in card associated with a sweepstakes, such that by cutting out the card and entering into the drawing, the user effectively relinquishes the ability to resell the book. As opposed to removing the cover, or a portion of the cover, alternative embodiments include sending in one or more pages of the book, either as part of a chapter or randomly extracted, or otherwise altering the text so as to dramatically minimize or eliminate its resale value.
