Great exercise for talking about web standards, congratulations to the winners and great idea on creating the links list. Of course, I did not win :) . I posted something similar at my blog, how designers get inspiration. I invited some well known designers with no luck until now. If you can take a look.

I ordered the book from Amazon.co.uk a week ago, and received the same message. To my surprise the book appeared in my mailbox on friday.
Normally it takes at least a week for shipments to appear here in Norway, so thats fast delivery from our friends at amazon!
Haven’t had the chance to read it yet, but after browsing through the book a couple of times I sure look forward to reading it! Looks great!

Why didn’t you just approach 3 strangers and ask each to pick a number between 1 & 485?

Ian – Right, I’m afraid I don’t have control over that. Perhaps they ran out temporarily (which isn’t a consolation if you’re still waiting for it to be delivered). Sorry guys – hope they arrive soon.

Brian G, I received the same message from Amazon.co.uk. What a pain! I guess Dan’s silence on this means he can’t do anything about it. Oh well.

I’m actually a slight bit happy I didn’t win because the thought of calling up Amazon today to cancel my pre-order (which should arrive on my door today) wasn’t something that totally enthrilled me.
I had plans to keep the book and barter my way into a simplebits tee shirt so I can be extra buff at the beach this summer, if I had won that is.

Dan, you just lost a book sale…because I’m a winner! I know I shouldn’t gush over $24, but this sort of thing doesn’t happen to me.
Thanks for a great site and thanks in advance for the book. I can’t wait to read it.

I ordered mine from Amazon and got in a few days (last Friday). Looks great! I can’t wait to delve into it. I’m sure I will learn alot.
Thanks for spending the time on this, Dan!

I ordered my copy last week, but Amazon.ca is saying there will be a 1-2 week delay! What up with that? It’s times like this that it makes more sense to order it from Amazon.com and pay the duties on it.
