The book is out - get it here!
Here's the New York Times article.
The breadpig is thrilled to be working with xkcd on this venture and we're expecting the book to hit the virtual shelves of the xkcd store this summer.
If you'd like to be notified, sign up for the breadpig mailing list (your information will not be sold, bartered, or used for any kind of evil). We're not a traditional publisher, but this isn't a traditional book -- the majority of the profits from each sale will go directly to the artist (xkcd).
As for the rest (as with all breadpig projects) our profits will be donated; for this project, the non-profit recipient Room to Read, a splendid organization committed to bringing quality education to children worldwide (with books!).
2008 was a great first year for breadpig, with LOLmagnetz generating a solid $15,000 for the SF SPCA and shirts selling well throughout the year. ROFLDNA got 09 off to a good start and we're all very excited about the xkcd book.
Only $15? Try $22 for Australia …
Thank $deity for a strong AUD, at the usual rate it would be too expensive to buy.
Yeah, same to UK… xkcd is global. Dont make us pay $15 and wait 5 weeks!
EDIT: My dad needs to find XKCD, the greatest cartoon out there. I would pay the $15 shipping if it could be 4-5 DAYS!!
The book is$ 18.00 and shipping to The Netherlands is $ 15? What am I paying for, a book, or transport companies??
Too much guys… :-(
Thanks for supporting xkcd & breadpig! You shalln't be disappointed.
Huzzah! I must say, it looks great on the shelf between Larson & Watterson.
