It's 25% off any book preorders at Barnes & Noble right now, that means you could get a new physical copy of Black Box of Doom for like 15 bucks (by preordering the paperback that arrives in Nov). Use code PREORDER25 at checkout.

And again this is with ANY online book preorder at B&N, not just mine, so use that code if there's some other book you want more. But the only thing I have up for preorder at the moment is the black box paperback and I know from experience like 40% of readers are waiting for the cheaper softcover to get here and these days 15 bucks won't get you a hamburger
