Hm. I've got an earlier version and don't know if I can justify buying it again for the three extra pieces.

Maybe I spoke too quickly. There are two exclusive stories here. Hm again.

It's the only thing that makes me trepidatious. What if I buy this one and then there's another. Hmm.... choices... choices.... Then again, you could always give them as gifts. I already have The God Engines so I'll probably gift that book.

Darn. The only thing I want is the Redshirts short story. Hmmm... Oh well. Maybe it will come out in the market someday.

1. Scalzi says in a later comment that he expects the exclusive content won't remain exclusive.

2. The Redshirts short story is all over Youtube. My fave is the one he did with Wil Wheaton, because reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zz5S2...

@Serendi: Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know about this since I don't follow the author. You're right. Any excuse for anything that has to do with Wil Wheaton can be answered with a simple "because". ;)

On the minus side, unlike StoryBundle and Humbe Bundle, it's one massive EPUB (or Mobi if you do Kinda, I guess). On the plus side, it's trivial to use the EpubSplit plugin in Calibre to split it up into its component books/novellas.
