You can buy almost all these book from amazon for less the price after the 40% discount. I just realized this after buying the books. -_- should have done my research before hand, the coupon got me.

I would otherwise be shopping at amazon.co.uk.

The ~£35 four ebooks cost me with the 40% off, would have been about £70 at Amazon for the books, with only one title having an ebook available.

Anyone else getting this error? "Coupon 'turkey' doesn't apply to anything in your cart." I have "1x The Pragmatic Programmer (eBook) - Andrew Hunt and David Thomas" in my cart.

If you're at the stage in your career where this is a good book, then this is A Good Book, coupon or not.

Just sayin'.

Purchased!

Kudos to PragProg for putting this collection together, I'm a huge fan. Likewise, my book's on sale as well, as a loving ode to Turkey! For those applying to YC, the book's based on conversations I've had with startup founders here on Hacker News. Ice Cream Startups: How to pick your best idea and run with it. http://bit.ly/TTWUqz

Purchased your book. Looks like an interesting read for when I have nighttime coding breaks, thanks for the sale!

Hey! Thank you! Really appreciate it, put a lot of effort in to writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it. If you have any questions, feedback, comments, or even wanna bounce ideas off me, and have me play devil's advocate, I'd be more than happy to do so.

I agree 100%. I was just confused and the coupon terms were not in an obvious place, to me.

If you see $10 on the street, won't you pick it up?
Re:40% off The Pragmatic Bookshelf with the coupon 'turkey' by antidoh on Friday November 23, 2012 @10:03PM (#4824404)
Yes, if it's there. The coupon wasn't there for this book, and I was just encouraging the purchase regardless. One of my favorite reads.
Re:40% off The Pragmatic Bookshelf with the coupon 'turkey' by StavrosK on Saturday November 24, 2012 @08:08AM (#4825255)
Ah, I didn't realize the coupon was only for some books. Valid reasoning, then.

According to the site:

  The coupon is valid for the entire contents of an order
  (excluding books we do not publish such as The Pragmatic 
  Programmer and a handful of other titles) but does not
  affect shipping costs.

worked fine for me, I picked out 4 titles I've had on my reading list for a while.
Re:40% off The Pragmatic Bookshelf with the coupon 'turkey' by gtwhite on Friday November 23, 2012 @03:00PM (#4823451)
I get no option to enter a coupon. When do you enter it?
Re:40% off The Pragmatic Bookshelf with the coupon 'turkey' by siculars on Friday November 23, 2012 @03:16PM (#4823514)
found it. step 4 where you confirm your order you can apply a code. click the apply code link.
Re:40% off The Pragmatic Bookshelf with the coupon 'turkey' by gtwhite on Friday November 23, 2012 @03:32PM (#4823564)
hmm, I feel really dumb. Step 4 for me is billing details and then step 5 is where I enter card information and at the bottom it says process your order. Is it after this? This seems like the last step so I don't want them to charge my card.
