Anyone else getting this error? "Coupon 'turkey' doesn't apply to anything in your cart." I have "1x The Pragmatic Programmer (eBook) - Andrew Hunt and David Thomas" in my cart.

If you're at the stage in your career where this is a good book, then this is A Good Book, coupon or not.

Just sayin'.

I agree 100%. I was just confused and the coupon terms were not in an obvious place, to me.

If you see $10 on the street, won't you pick it up?

Yes, if it's there. The coupon wasn't there for this book, and I was just encouraging the purchase regardless. One of my favorite reads.

Ah, I didn't realize the coupon was only for some books. Valid reasoning, then.

Purchased!

Kudos to PragProg for putting this collection together, I'm a huge fan. Likewise, my book's on sale as well, as a loving ode to Turkey! For those applying to YC, the book's based on conversations I've had with startup founders here on Hacker News. Ice Cream Startups: How to pick your best idea and run with it. http://bit.ly/TTWUqz

Purchased your book. Looks like an interesting read for when I have nighttime coding breaks, thanks for the sale!

Hey! Thank you! Really appreciate it, put a lot of effort in to writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it. If you have any questions, feedback, comments, or even wanna bounce ideas off me, and have me play devil's advocate, I'd be more than happy to do so.

According to the site:

  The coupon is valid for the entire contents of an order
  (excluding books we do not publish such as The Pragmatic 
  Programmer and a handful of other titles) but does not
  affect shipping costs.

worked fine for me, I picked out 4 titles I've had on my reading list for a while.
