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.

    Not quite info graphics, but it is another way of displaying “please choose me, I’d really love a copy!” And I really, really would.

    May I have a signed copy, please?
    (It’s about 30 minutes I’m thinking on what to say to convince you: I’m over!
    I just hope that kindness will be enough *^_^*)

    Looks great. I wonder if there is any code included for generating some of the graphics, or if you will set up a site for sharing of such code…

    Hey! I’m from mexico city, and love your work, its pretty amazing.
    I order mine from Amazon for Chrismas, since December 22, 2009. But they just told me: Not yet shipped. We’ll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item. It will ship separately.

    Now I understand why I never get it. I would totally love to have one of the last five copies of the first edition. Specially if you sign them.

    If I dont win, congratulation for your work, and I will wait for the next reprint.

    Roberto.

    At the time I write, there are 1423 posts, meaning I have 0.35% chance of winning a book. Or as ladbrokes use to say (they went decimal this week) odds of 1/284.

    Pleeeeeeaaase I want one, do you ship over to Canada? I couldn’t find it there.
    If I get one I could translate it to French for free – there is no much text right?? ;)
    thanks anyway for the great work

    The beautiful information is more powerful. I would like that school books have information like that.

    I would normally never want to read a book just for the cover, but in this case, I might make an exception.
