LinkedIn Spent $500,000 Buying 20,000 Copies Of Founder Reid Hoffman's New Book

The company bought 20,000 copies of The Alliance “for marketing and branding purposes.”

Reid Hoffman didn't just found LinkedIn and hold on to more than half its voting stock — he's also the author of The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age . And his book has been a big hit in at least one way: LinkedIn has spent $500,000 buying 20,000 copies of it "for marketing and branding purposes," the company said in a filing today.
The big book purchase was spotted by Michelle Leder, an editor at Footnoted, a site that mines the small print in SEC filings for useful and revealing information.
Hoffman received approximately $3 in royalties for each copy sold, the company said, meaning LinkedIn's bulk buy landed him about $60,000. The company said Hoffman has donated $60,000 to the LinkedIn For Good Foundation, where donations "are used primarily to support youth employment programs and nonprofits championed by employees." The company has donated $1.35 million in total to the foundation.
A LinkedIn spokesperson declined to comment beyond the filing.
So what is The Alliance all about? "The employee relationship is broken, leaving managers with a seemingly impossible dilemma: You can't afford to treat employees like family (which they never were)" says a description of the book on its website. "But you can't build a lasting, innovative business when every employee acts like a free agent."

14 Things Everyone Gets Wrong About Librarians
Posted by Unknown on Saturday, April 18, 2015
“Yes, I can help you find all the books.” “No, I don’t spend all day reading them.”
That your job is stress-free.
"I hate when people say, 'It's so quiet in here. Your job must be so relaxing.' Or they assume you have three hours at work to just read whatever books you want." —Jackie DeStefano, Facebook
"Especially during the summer reading program!" —Maria Slytherinn Hill, Facebook

That technology has made your job redundant.
"[People assume] that librarians and libraries are obsolete because 'you can find everything on Google.' There's so much information (electronic or otherwise) that can't be accessed through Google, and we know how to find it." —AnnaBanana617

That you spend your days reading.
"People have told me they would love to be a librarian because it would be so nice to work with books all day. Nope. That's not what I do all day. I work with PEOPLE all day— reference, teaching programming. Sometimes that involves helping them find books, but if it weren't for people, there'd be no librarians." —Emily Lauren Mross, Facebook
