A loyal MR reader (and prominent game theorist) writes:
…your [no] response makes sense because you know that, averaging over the population of all people who would write to you as i did, the elasticity [of purchase] is finite, despite our claims. However, you also realize that now, in response, the second-best solution for me to make a binding commitment never to buy the book. (Such a commitment is no less credible than the unverifiable claims you are soliciting.) Then you will behave as a perfect price-discriminator and give me the address. (your marginal costs are negative.)
But we realize that this is inefficient because it may happen that I may need to buy the book in the future and we will lose out on those gains from trade. So in the interest of Pareto efficiency, you should tell me the address.
Oh, Pareto optimality is a such an overrated idea. In any case the offer still stands. You can pre-order the book (as so many others have done…thanks everyone!), write me at IBoughtTylersBook@gmail.com, and get access to the new secret blog.
Addendum: Here is Bryan Caplan, discussing the book, on whether economists (and gays) should come out of the closet.
Will I get the secret blog when I buy a used paperback version of the book?
Because the book is not yet released, I have to find another unreleased book to get my total up to $39 for free shipping. There isn’t another unreleased book right now that I want. And I don’t want to add a released book, because then I won’t receive it until yours comes out.
I suggest you accept promises to order the book in lieu of pre-orders.
Of course, I could pre-order the book and then cancel before its release. You haven’t prohibited that.

You obviously aren’t a very dedicated reader if you’re not signed up for Amazon Prime!
