You can tweet sample questions through Monday, January 27 at 9:00 AM (EST) that you would ask Stefan about his design practice, his book, or life in his New York design studio to this hashtag: #sagmeisterbook (it is important for you to use this hashtag). We will then choose three design students based on the thoughtfulness of the sample questions sent in and announce the winners on Tuesday January 28. You must be able to attend the signing on February 6.
