   SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: If you’ve preordered THE STRANGEST IDEA IN THE WORLD (https://thestrangestideaintheworld.com/), I’d like to send you a little something extra in the mail. Submit your preorder receipt and your mailing address here: https://sites.prh.com/strangestidea-preorder. This is only available to folks with US or UK addresses—apologies to those who live elsewhere! In the US, everyone with a valid entry will get one; in the UK they’ll pick winners randomly. The link will be open until December 11, and we’ll start mailing things out after that. I won’t spoil the surprise, but I will say that a) it’s very silly, and b) I can’t wait to get mine.

   (For the US: US Residents, 18+. Ends December 11, 2026. See terms at https://sites.prh.com/strangestidea-preorder)
