With over 25,000 copies of xkcd: volume 0 sold so far, breadpig is thrilled to announce that the xkcd school is complete!
Thanks to all of you who helped get us here. This school was built from the proceeds raised from two stops on the xkcd book tour (NYC and Mountain View). And we're not done there!
Based on breadpig's profits from xkcd: volume 0 sales in 2009, we've donated $52,961.78 to Room to Read for more schools in 2010! We'll be letting you, the breadpig legion, vote on where and what we build in the days to come!
Ever since raising $32,000 from the fundraiser book tour, we've been keeping you abreast of construction as it's progressed. And now it's done!
