something like donate $25, get one of the first copies of the books.
Or even have it be a digital version, or something...
Sending a book costs about $10 for the book, $2-5 for shipping, and days of my time to orchestrate. It'd decimate more than half of a $25 donation. I do see the appeal of perks, but I think the trade-off is unattractive in this case.
