Simon & Schuster is on Foursquare

Foursquare users can now check in at locations mentioned in some Simon & Schuster books and get information from those books. On Tuesday, the publisher celebrated the program by giving a free copy of Howard Gordon's Gideon’s War to anyone checking in on Foursquare at the publisher’s offices.

eBookNewser has more about the program: “The presence includes tips and trivia on places in the real world from authors. For example, Suzanne Corso, author of Brooklyn Story, tells fans where they can find the best cannoli in her neighborhood."<-- super fun

All this following the news a few months ago that Simon & Schuster, among other publishers, jumped aboard the GetGlue train offering stickers like these for check-ins.
