Win Signed Copies of the Visual Miscellaneum!

January 11, 2010

The Visual Miscellaneum sold out in North America over Christmas. Woo! Thanks to all those who bought a copy.

Thanks to my publishers HarperCollins, I now hold what could be the last five copies of the first edition.

I’d like to sign them and give away to you, lovely readers. Before this site goes all Information Is Beautiful on your ass.

To enter the prize draw, just leave a comment below.

On Saturday 16th January I’ll pick five winners at random and contact them via email.

(BTW Apols for the lack of updates recently. I’ve been working on some cool new stuff to be released v. soon).

UPDATE: Thank you for all your entries and the lovely comments. I have been blushing continuously all week. Comments are closed now. But I’ll be picking winners on Monday 18th.

    The world is separated in to two classes. Those that want to know and those that dont. Unfortunately the easier path is more traveled. This website shows to difference between ignorance is bliss and knowledge is life.

    I design infographics for my university newspaper, and your blog is one of several on my feed reader that I look to for inspiration. A copy of the book would be awesome. You should know that even if readers like myself don’t comment, you still have loyal readers! Keep up the good work.

    Greetings from an Egyptian architecture student residing in Canada.
    Your site is very intriguing and influential; even useful as an interdisciplinary field along with architecture. Similarly to what you do, we map and visualize spaces and ideas graphically.
    Can’t wait to get hold of your book…
    Cheers

    Your book is not available to Australians – I would have bought it by now if I could have – so I’m reduced to begged via comments. sigh. It’s totally worth it though!
