The Humble Brainiac Book Bundle (explained here) is doing bonkers-crazy well! As of today we’ve sold somewhere north of 22,000 bundles (to put that in perspective: If a book like mine sold *5,000* print copies in one week, it would be a New York Times Bestseller. This past week has almost *quadrupled* the total number of copies of my book currently in circulation).
We want to keep this party rolling for the six days, and to do so, we’ve sweetened the pot:
- My publisher has added three more titles to the Humble Brainiac Bundle! Beat the average (which is currently $13.37) and you’ll get the core bundle, the original beat-the-average-bundle (which was four books: Two LEGO, the Mange Guide to Physics and Python for Kids) *and* three new bonus books: Beautiful LEGO, the LEGO Build-It Book Vol 1, and the Manga Guide to Calculus. That means that bundle buyers who go all-in and spend $15 or more will get 16 books; $300+ in rad reads! (As always, you can still get the five core books–which include my own SNIP, BURN, SOLDER, SHRED, as well as a Manga science book, a LEGO book, a Ruby-for-kids book and the excellent LAUREN IPSUM–for pay-what-you-want! And I mean, pay just about *anything* you want; you can pay a buck and get those five books. It’s an honest-to-god-*steal!*)
- For the next week you can get print copies of *any* No Starch Press kids’ book for 50% OFF if you use the coupon code BRAINIAC (Good through 2/18). That’s absolutely and totally old-school bananas! Like, 50% off is a better deal than they give *me* on my book, which I buy in bulk to sell at events. There are *so* many good books included in this deal, it’s just mind boggling! This deal includes all of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful LEGO books, all the Manga Guides, innovative programming books, and just plain lovely things like Bunpei Yorifuji’s Wonderful Life with the Elements: The Periodic Table Personified. For real: Stock up now for the next few gift-giving holidays! Go. Buy. NOW!
Finally, my Ask Me Anything over on GoodReads (his what-what over on where-now?) is going strong. We’ve been talking about DIY projects, publishing, working with kids, finding parts, “inspiration,” and more. I’m going to keep it up until the end of this promotion bonanza on February 18. Swing by and hit me with your questions! New answers go up every other day or so.
