I'm definitely going to check this out. Looks like an awesome read.

Re: The New Cool

I read the free sample... Its really good/captured my interest. The beginning goes more in depth to the beginning of FIRST which is really cool to learn about.

Re: The New Cool

You can also pre-order the book from AndyMark at http://www.andymark.com/ProductDetai...ctCode=am-0840. On their product page it says a portion of the proceeds go to FIRST (not sure if it is just them or if all sales have that) and you can help support AndyMark.

This is true. For each book sold through AndyMark, we are donating $5 to FIRST.

I am reading an early release of the book now, and it is very impressive.

Re: The New Cool

After reading the first chapter that they have on their website, I can say that this will definitely be the book of the year for me!

I think this book will do a lot of good for FIRST. I myself am already working to get it in our schools and local library book club schedule, which should spark some interest in the community and help spread the program!

Re: The New Cool

I just saw the little blurb of a review by Homer Hickam as well as Dean Kamen! For those of you who don't know, Homer Hickam is the author of Rocket Boys and the person whom the movie October Sky is based off of. One of my favorite movies of all time! very awesome to see the two reviews.

For some answers about THE NEW COOL, and my intentions with it, I started a new thread in the general forum: From the Author of The New Cool.

Thanks everyone for your early enthusiasm about my book.

After reading the except, I just pre-ordered the Kindle version - and can't wait to read it on March 1st! It will be a nice "distraction" between ship date and our week one competition! Thanks, Neal!
