Looking for Do Not Disturb Signs for New Travel Book
 
Hello Fellow Travelers,

I am in the process of compiling a book of "Do Not Disturb" signs from resorts and hotels around the world. Our goal is to feature 1001 signs ranging from plain to wildly creative. If you have any extra signs taking up space in your house, or if you are going on a trip soon and see a unique sign, please let us know. If we use your sign in our book, we will give you credit next to the picture as the traveler who submitted the sign.

Please include the name and location of the property where the sign is from. (we will need to contact the property for details and publication approval), as well as your name and hometown as you would like it to appear in the book. If you supply your email address, we will also keep you updated on the book's progress.

You can submit your signs to:

DND BOOK
13279 FOREST RIDGE BLVD
STERLING HEIGHTS, MI 48313-1170
USA

If you happen to have a LARGE collection of signs, please email us at [email protected] and we would be happy to arrange shipping from our FED EX account.

Thanks and happy travels!

Chris

Chris, most of the ones I see now are all exactly alike. English on one side and Spanish on the other.

Good luck with the book.

Well CRAP... 2 weeks ago I threw out one of the best ever.
It was a Federal Hotel Program and they handed out door hangers that had 'Do Not Disturb Fed in Bed'
Really funny.

An entire book of "interesting" do not disturb signs? What am I missing here?

Do not know if this would quite qualify for the scope of your book but...

The Greenbrier puts up signs in the hallways at night which say something like "Shhh, It's Sleepy Time Down South".

Contact The Greenbrier for a picture of the sign. Goto http://www.greenbrier.com/site/

I must be missing something here. If someone sends you a sign, it means they "stole" it, right? So, do they really want "credit" for that in a book?

The Marriott Ko'Olina on Ohau has nice signs with a string of nuts/beads that are used to make leis.

Sorry I didn't see this post sooner.

I noticed the door signs at the Embassy Suites, in downtown New York City. This the best I can remember it: "There's a really good reason not to knock right now".
