Actionopolis books at 50% off make great holiday gifts for the youngsters!


Heir to Fire: Gila Flats (Book 1)...Coming September 20th!

So, you’ve got some young readers in your life and you’re stuck on the holiday shopping. My suggestions? Get those 8-15-year-old readers a copy of Heir to Fire or one of the other Actionopolis books.

If you have three kids to buy for, you can get the books for about $7.34 a piece (or $5.61 off of cover price).

Even better, if you’re looking to pick up books for five kids, you can get an even bigger discount: $6.67 each (or almost 50% off cover price).

You’ll need to jump through some online shopping hoops, but it’s worth it! Here’s how you do it:

  1. Sign up for a Google Checkout account. This is Google’s new universal payment system. They aim to make it so that you have one shopping login ID that’s good at numerous online vendors for convenient and secure shopping.
  2. Go to Buy.com and browse the Actionopolis books. Put 3 or 5 in your cart.
  3. You’ll get Free Shipping for ordering over $30 worth of stuff. WARNING: If you see a shipping charge at checkout, look around for an option to switch to free (slower) shipping.
  4. You won’t pay sales tax in most states.
  5. Here’s the best part: When you check out, look for this button:
    Google Checkout Button

    Use that button to check out with your new Google Checkout account.

  6. Google will automatically give you $20 off your order of $50 or more, or $10 off your order of $30 or more.

Now, just to be clear, the Google discount happens automatically. There’s no rebate to send it or anything like that. They simply reduce your total checkout price right on the spot.

Here’s how that math breaks down:
