@wafflesmcgee: $6.40 for shipping? You mean when if I'm patient they'll deliver all the pictures to my retina for like $10? No way!

Standard shipping is $6.40 to Virginia. :( In for 0. I think I'll just add the Amazon one to my wishlist...

What no eBook? What is this thing they call "paperback"?

Silly bookcloseouts.com, $6.40 shipping is no fun at all, that's more than twice the price of the book itself.

@gabesmalley: Thanks for the link. There are several books on there for under $4 with free shipping by some of my favorite authors.

Up-voting only because of Woot's description.

I read Bill O'Reilly's book, The Killing of Lincoln; and the following week I read Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter. As I was reading AL: Vampire Hunter, I thought to myself, self, why am I reading this stupid book?? Ten pages in, I was hooked! I only hope the movie is as good.

Wish I checked out shipping before upvoting. Not so much a deal anymore.

C'mom - Lincoln as a Vampire slayer? I think a cooler story would be Obama as a Vampire! Or George W as a werewolf! Romney Zombie!

Rather expensive shipping, and you MUST create an account to buy from them? Nah. Not my cup of tea.

While we're talking books, can I recommend abebooks.com? Pretty similar selection to most new bookstores, but all used stuff. Country wide inventories - you can get a ton of titles for under $3, shipped. My favorite.

@djalliduck: + 1 I could only make it through 50 pages. Love horror, love history. Its the "Snakes on a Plane" of books.

Shipping to Texas was 6.79. Way too much. No deal for me.

According to their site:
"Standard Shipping takes 1 to 4 weeks in the United States with the exception of Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, which can take up to 6 weeks."

For $6.40, 1-4 weeks isn't that acceptable in my book. Also, if you have a Prime membership, you can get the exact same book on your front door from Amazon in 2 days for only $5.60, which is less than the shipping cost from this deal.

@chris12345: They are afraid that we will walk out of the store without paying. Wonder if they will make an exception if I lock my backpack in my bathroom.

AMAZING book. Just finished it. Very well done. I was pleasantly surprised.

SPOILER ALERT

I hate biographies and I picked up this book because I love vampires (bleh Twilight); this book was essentially a biography of Lincoln's life with vampires interjected. Although I am a fast reader and read books all the time, I found this book pretty boring and struggled through it.

There were some interesting scenes, but if you are not into history, like myself, this book is probably not for you.

@conanthelibrarian: Shipping cost (at least for me) was $6.40. Kind of a buzzkill.

Whenever I first picked up a copy, the after-tax cost was $18.65. I know this is cheaper, but it won't result in the final checkout surprise that I was able to experience.

As far as the book goes, it's average at best. It's not a great parody of Lincoln biographies, and it's a subpar book in general. It's much better suited for film than it is print. At this price it's worth a buy, but don't expect anything particularly fantastic. It has a few enjoyable moments, but don't get your hopes up.

best price I've seen on this book. Does anyone know the price of shipping? It would not let me see without creating an account.

This is the first book I paid full price for on my Kindle. It was great. Can't say anything about the quality of the print version, but the book is a really fun read.

You have to register for an account to add something to your cart. That's just silly.

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.
