I'm not sure how soon this expires (definitely over by the end of the weekend) but Barnes and Noble is offering 50% off any one print book if you "like" them on facebook. I did this at lunchtime and was able to purchase Modernist Cuisine for about $310.00. Still a hefty sum, but a great deal. Can't wait to start cooking from it.

this is good until Nov 6 at midnight.

you essentially save $130 off the amazon price. Real Money!

this should somehow be circulated to all who are interested in MC and have not yet made the plunge.!

Interesting as my coupon, said 50% of the list price of one book.

448 divided by 2.. hummmm doesn't equal 330 and change ?

448 is not the list price.

i tried to get the new Heston Blumental's book as I have MC and want no other book right now but it wouldnt let me use the coupon at all.

its available for preorder, but at a discount.

MC arrived in the world's most well-packed box today. It was a box in a box in a box in a box. Each box baffled to protect the next box.

Haven't even unwrapped the set. Have to go to work.

Thanks again, victornet!

It's worth being a Barnes & Noble member! Received a 50% discount coupon by email. Discounted price of $418.81 reduced by half plus tax = $219.87. Free express shipping for the holidays. Crossing my fingers that the order isn't canceled. :rolleyes:

@Gary I signed up for a B&N membership just in case they should repeat the 50% deal you got; did you ever get your book?

Yes, they honored the price above and I received the "cube" in about a week. I have not, however, seen the 50% coupon repeated.

I just created wish lists at Amazon and B&N hoping that if another deal comes along they will let me know.

Just went to the BN.com website to add it to my wishlist, and see the following on the listing:

"Note: This item does not qualify for coupons or promotional discounts unless expressly stated."

Bad news!!
