Need a holiday gift for your nerdy best friend, precocious teenage offspring, or fundamentalist aunt?* Consider the WTF, Evolution?! book. Charles Darwin would have liked it, probably.

Here’s what some living people are saying:

“Mara Grunbaum’s book highlights the amazing, truly strange side of evolution. Nature’s a funny thing.” —The Verge

"In addition to being entertaining, the combined photos and commentary are extremely educational. They are also a constant reminder of what evolution is and how it really works.” —Huffington Post

"Although many of the species profiled here have downright disgusting quirks (such as baby toads that crawl through their mother’s skin), readers can’t help but be awed by them.” —Scientific American

Pssst! If you’re in the U.S., then from now until Sunday you can get 25% off the WTF, Evolution?! book on Amazon. That makes it just $7.13, which is about the same as a fancy sandwich. (Note: Book is not edible.) Use the promo code BOOKDEAL25 at checkout.

You could also use that code to get 25% off any other book. I won’t be mad. Everyone should buy books even if I didn’t write them. Another great place to buy them is at independent bookstores, where WTF, Evolution?! made the national indie bestsellers list this week. Thanks, independent bookstores, you’re the best.
