Nerd Do Well: A Small Boy's Journey to Becoming a Big Kid eBook: Simon Pegg: Kindle Store

Nerd Do Well: A Small Boy's Journey to Becoming a Big Kid eBook: Simon Pegg: Kindle Store for $12.99 + free shipping

Jun 22, 2011 3:03 PM

The unique life story of one of the most talented and inventive comedians, star of Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and Star Trek. Having landed on the U.S. movie scene in the surprise cult hit Shaun of the Dead, his enduring appeal and rise to movie star with a dedicated following has been mercurial, meteoric, megatronic, but mostly just plain great.From his childhood (and subsequently adult) obsession with science fiction, his enduring friendship with Nick Frost, and his forays into stand-up comedy which began with his regular Monday morning slot in front of his twelve-year-old classmates, Simon has always had a severe and dangerous case of the funnies.Whether recounting his experience working as a lifeguard at the city pool, going to Comic-Con for the first time and confessing to Carrie Fisher that he used to kiss her picture every night before he went to sleep, Pegg offers a hilarious look at the journey to becoming an international superstar.

Oh yeah, zippy, this is a deal because for those with Kindles, it's $3.51 cheaper than the hardcover listed here yesterday. :)

@loubriccant: Still not a deal because this is the normal price for the Kindle version. The one you posted yesterday WAS A DEAL because it was priced much better than normal. There are thousands of eBooks that are cheaper than the paper versions and they are not deals either unless they are made available at a lower-than-normal price or some other special quality like being bundled or having extra content etc.
BTW the only reason I even looked at this post was there were 2 other posts (one yours) for this title in the last day or so.

@zippy the pinhead: Well zip, it's like this. This a new and highly anticipated book. A lot of us want it now, not when YOU deem it a deal. So, what we've done here the last two days is show everyone that may be interested, just what their best options are at the moment. Wait until you read chapter 2, it's all about how Simon needed to get laid too! :-)

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
