xkcd To Be Released In Book Form 198
History's Coming To writes "xkcd creator Randall Munroe has revealed on his blag that the acclaimed stick-figure comic will be produced in real dead-tree book form. Fantastic news for all fans of comedy, maths, science, and relationship screw-ups — especially given that the book will be sold in aid of the charity 'Room To Read.' Rumors that the book contains a joke in the ISBN remain unconfirmed." The NY Times article that Munroe links (registration may be required) is from April of this year, and I am amazed that this community didn't note the story at that time. The book will be published by breadpig, which was created by Alexis Ohanian, one of the founders of reddit.

It's kdawson. The summary somehow has to create outrage and be worded in needlessly inflammatory language.

Brings up a good point. Just how are you supposed to link to a book? I can see it now, There's an xkcd for that (page 30).

Randall attaches a text comment to each comic that appears as a tooltip when you leave your cursor sitting on the image for a few seconds. It's almost always directly related to the comic, although it may or may not be directly related to the story presented.
