I've just ordered Jonathan Knudsen's book "Lego Mindstorms Robots" for
$0.11.
Yes, ELEVEN CENTS!!!  How?!

Step 1 - Go to http://www.flamingoworld.com/

Step 2 - Click on "$20 off a $20 order" under buy.com section.

Step 3 - When you're at buy.com, click on "Books" tab

Step 4 - Search for "LEGO" at buy.com.

Step 5 - Purchase whichever LEGO book you desire.
They have both MindStorms books (Dave Baum's apparently is not shipping
yet?!).
They have "The Ultimate LEGO Universe" for $12.96, Crazy Contraptions $12.96
And a few more LEGO books that I'm not familiar with.

Another tip: If you need to bring up the total to $20, consider searching
for "Stickers".  I ordered a few stickers at 75 cents each to bring my total
to $20.11

PS: Spend your $20 wisely, since supposedly it is good only for new
customers.
I didn't dare try to use the coupon twice, I feel guilty enough getting a
$25 book for 11 cents.

[This was posted in lugnet.market.shopping; forwarding a copy to lugnet.robotics & lugnet.books. I assume/hope Jonathan still gets the same royalty on the book either way, whether it costs someone $0.11 or $24.99... --Todd] (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Bummer! I tried to order the ultimate lego book and lego island CD plus some stickers to make it over the $20 minimum but they don't do ground shipping to Hawaii (or Alaska). The only other shipping options would be: Second day air ... $15.39 Next (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Very cool. However there is a step 2.5, you have to click on the "redeem coupon" at some point before you check out or it doesn't show in your shopping cart and you don't get it. (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

Ugh, Canadian shoppers have to use the canada.buy.com service, which only offers $15.00 Cdn ($10.00 US) for free and only sells computer stuff. Like I can get anything for my computer for that. -- Paul Davidson, aka Tinman (URL) "If you strike me (...) (25 years ago, 27-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Thanks for the great tip on this one, Hari. Lugnet heresy, I actually used this deal to score a free non-lego book. I used it to get Angela's Ashes for my wife as a Christmas present. We have a $ limit on gifts, so anything I can get her for (...) (25 years ago, 28-Nov-99, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Thanks for the tip Hari! I already had most of the books there, but being a Toy Story 2 fan, I ordered the Ultimate Guide to Toy Story 2 (or something like that) from the same people (DK) who brought us the Ultimate Guide to LEGO toys (great (...)
