Just had to include this screen grab of how well the book is doing at Powell’s Books. If you don’t know, Powell’s is one of the most respected independent bookstores this side of the Rockies, and being included in their Featured section this month is a true honor.
I’ve also been told that the book is in the window at their main store. If anyone has a chance to snap a picture, I’ve love to see it!
@muskrat_john I had a hell of a time figuring that out when putting it in the table of contents of #geekdadbook…
For all who might think of this kind of thing, feel free to pass along links to places you think #geekdadbook should be sent for PR.
If you’re in the Bay Area, stop by and say hello!
Just want to share the first two Amazon customer reviews, both wonderful. I’m really grateful, folks! Please keep ’em coming!
And special thanks to Daniel, reviewer #2, and a buddy from high school whom I don’t get to hang out with nearly enough these days. See you at Maker Faire, I hope!

Received the book yesterday and after the first read the book is great. There are great projects that I will be doing with my son as he grows up. What else is there to say? I highly recommend this book to any parent who enjoys geeky hobbies, and wants to share them with their geeklet.

Great ideas for ways to spend quality, geeky time with your kids, packaged up in a entertaining read. The projects will get the kids to tinker right along with you, and maybe even learn something while they’re having fun!
I really, really appreciate all the copies that are flying off the virtual shelves at Amazon, Borders, BN (including the Nook), the iBook Store and so forth! I want to suggest to anyone who bought it online to go and put a review up on the site where they purchased up. These reviews really help the visibility of the book to other customers. Thanks so much!
Through a terrible oversight between proofreading and printing, the illustrator’s name was left off the book. I hope to get that rectified in future printings, but for now all I can do is make sure everyone knows it was:
BRADLEY PAYTON
who did all the wonderful illustrations in the book!
Amazon ranking 284! Holy carp!
Amazon sales rank at 398! Over 300 pre-orders have shipped!
Formal notice: turns out is available in the iBook store for the iPad!!
