Earlier this week, I linked you over to a great deal on closeout copies of MAD's Greatest Artists: The Completely MAD Don Martin, a fine two-volume set that Barnes & Noble was selling for a ridiculously low price. Over the next day or three — and I'll take full credit for the rush — they sold out of copies. In fact, two different readers of this site have told me they ordered the book online only to later receive e-mails that said the company had exhausted its supply and the orders would not be filled.
I told you to check out your local Barnes & Noble (you know, actually go into a bookstore) to see if they have copies because apparently, some of them have piles of 'em. For those of you who shudder at this prospect, you still may be able to procure one from your computer chair. Daedalus Books seems to still have copies for $29.98 — more than the Barnes & Noble price but still about $120 below the original list. Books-A-Million claims to have them for about the same price. I'll bet there are others.
I don't make anything off these referrals so I'm going to guilt-trip you a bit. If because of me you get one of these books at this tremendous discount, send ten or more dollars (of the $120 or so you're saving) to my favorite charity, Operation USA. No one you'll ever give money to will put it to better use.
