Maybe I'm more curmudgeonly than most, but I have no idea why I'd either want a tiny picture of my face in a book or a copy of the book itself on my coffee table.

I suppose you could use it to clear out unwanted house guests "Alright everybody, lets look through One Million People together!"

A quick idea that could avoid the "why bother" and originality issues.

There is a 25m x 4m swimming pool here, with about half a million 2cm x 2cm blue tiles (http://imgur.com/UdzbE.jpg). Imagine that for a cost of printing a tile, one could put a tiny picture of their face in this pool.

Why would anyone do that? This is a 5+ star mountain resort located half a mile from several 2014 Winter Olympics sites. Those who play the tile game shall get a lifetime discount on resort's accommodation and services.

Advantages are simple: participants get discounts, those who stay here have a more fun swimming experience, and the resort gets clients and promotion (even if the effort is unsuccessful in the end).

Disclaimer: I'm not affiliated w. the resort.
