Apple's 20% Discount on iPhoto Books and Calendars

Posted Monday, December 31, 2007

Via MacUser comes good news: through February 28, Apple is offering a 20 percent discount on iPhoto books and calendars.

To get a discount on that gorgeous iPhoto book you just made, enter code NAWinterBook08 when checking out. For calendars, use code NAWinterCal08.

Need help creating books and calendars? I've got a book for you. It's on sale, too: order the brand-new edition of the world's top-selling iLife book for $26.39. That's 34 percent off, which I suppose makes Amazon 14 percent more generous than Apple.



Let it Snow!

I hope you're enjoying a quiet holiday week. In case you don't live where the snowflakes are, here's a site containing some amazing photomicrographs of snowflakes and snow crystals.

Happy New Year! I'll be back next week with some Macworld Expo thoughts. Oh, and by the way: my book is off-press! I got the first copy from the bindery the other day, which means copies will start showing up in stores within a couple of weeks, and on Amazon before then.
