BOOK ON UNLUCKY 13 QUESTIONNAIRE

 

I am currently researching and writing a book on the number 13, which

will include a section on 13 and Numerology and Astrology. If you

have time, I would love to hear your opinions and perspective on 13.

Please feel free to copy the questions below and email your reply to

Bookonunlucky13. Write as much or as little as you like.

There are no right or wrong answers.

 

Your answers may be used in my book on 13; your reply grants me

permission to quote from or draw on your answers without

compensation. I will, of course, keep your identity/contact

information, etc., completely confidential.

 

Please feel free to forward this questionnaire to anyone you know who

may find it of interest. My goal is to write the best book possible--

which means a book that accurately reflects the full spectrum of

people's opinions and beliefs about 13. So the more people who

respond the questionnaire, the better. Thank you very much for your

help.

 

Sincerely,
