The Cranky Product Manager will call your boss/co-worker/colleague/mom/spouse and let him/her know that YOU, in fact, are NOT the Cranky Product Manager. So they can stop accusing you over and over. Or alternatively, the Cranky PM will just call you and we can have a nice chat for a bit. Plus the book in both its physical and electronic incarnations, and acknowledgement listing as a "Wicked Awesome Product Manager".

The Cranky Product Manager will immortalize your tragic/funny product management or product development story within the book. She'll write it after interviewing you. You can be fully anonymized or go full monty. CAVEAT: your story must actually be funny/cranky, or she might take artistic liberties to make it that way.

Half-page ad in the back of the book. You know how your high school yearbook had a bunch of ads in the back? Same idea here. Advertise your consulting firm, your training firm, your software for product managers, your eternal love for the Agile Church of Development, whatever, ... in a 1/2 page advertisement, to be found in the back of the book. Black & white, graphics are okay.

WHAT A GREAT TEAM BUILDING EVENT FOR YOUR PM TEAM. Forget about trust falls and rope courses. Come have a nice lunch with the Cranky PM. Watch in amazement as she guzzles 12 cups of coffee, gets food in her hair, and drops the F-bomb twice per sentence. 8 copies of the book (both physical and ebook), 8-coffee mugs, plus your team of up to 8 people gets lunch with the Cranky Product Manager, at a mutually agreeable location in the Silicon Valley, California (somewhere between San Jose and Burlingame, near the 101 or 280). NDA required of all recipients to not disclose her identity, take photos, etc. (lunch not included)

You receive a perpetual, non-exclusive license to infinitely reprint and reproduce one (and only one) of the Cranky Product Manager's posts, in any form, electronic or physical, royalty-free. You may select one post that is currently already published to the blog.

The Cranky Product Manager will give a funny in-person presentation about product management and product development based on the book's content. For up to 500 people, up to 60 minutes in length. If outside the SF Bay Area, you pay travel expenses. (Subject to our mutual schedule availability.)
