@vbabka ordered two weeks ago total six books from no starch including some pre-orders such as "The Art of ARM Assembly, Volume 1" and "Building a Debugger" but missed this one! I guess it is soon time for +1 order :-)

@jarkko you didn't miss it, wasn't there yet ;)

@vbabka ah ok cool, already put to basket waiting for >= 3 books threshold to fill ;-)

@jarkko but it has early access to the whole book which you could get immediately ;)

@vbabka yea i know thus i have so many early access preorders such as art of assembly's arm edition :-) i'll usually have at least one book that i get in the near proximity of my dirty hands, thus that three per order count...
@vbabka to add, i'll also need to tell my new employer opinsys to order one to the shelf at the office.
@vbabka My future employer (starting next month) made an order of two copies of this book ;-) The CEO just emailed me when I said that we need the new testament of Linux. That said, I'm still going to make also my personal purchase, with my own money.
@ljs @vbabka It's like every second day of my life when I need to check up how some shenanigan in mm actually works so I would bet my money on that ;-)
@ljs @vbabka PREZDAY25 -30% of all books at No Starch! High watermark triggered ;-)

@jarkko @ljs does that add to the preorder discount?

@vbabka @ljs

It was like that you’ll only get the best single discount that applies at checkout, which made sense to me, as I had now three books of which two were cheap.
@vbabka @ljs ah sorry ill check from order whether the two discounts add up. Sorry dyslexia!
@vbabka @ljs apparently i'm bad at interpreting numbers and bad at web forms. Here's the final truth ;-)

The bugs:

1. I forgot to add the second coupon. So we never know the truth.
2. PREZDAY25 was discounted from the full order not from the most expensive book.

Well.. Umh... Hmm... lol.

Well, in the end of the day this did not go so badly. I still got -30% instead -25%.

@jarkko @vbabka thanks for your purchase again :)

@ljs @vbabka ur welcome, sorry apparently i make a lot of noise every single time lol :D well if it is free advertisement for u, right? ;-)
