Title: Excellent Book Publisher Accepts Bitcoin: Albert Hofmann's Discovery of LSD, etc Post by: canton on July 19, 2013, 09:41:40 PM One of my long-time clients is Synergetic Press in Santa Fe, New Mexico. These folks have been part of an amazing and integral part of the psychedelic and environmental / biosphere communities since the 60's. They publish some really excellent titles, for example "Mystic Chemist: The Life of Albert Hofmann and his Discovery of LSD"
Just today I persuaded them to add bitcoin as a payment option on their site. If you're at all interested in topics such as psychedelics, ethnobotany, or the Biosphere 2 (remember that dome erected in Arizona designed to mimic an off-planet simulated Earth environment?) please check them out. http://www.synergeticpress.com/2012/01/now-accepting-bitcoin/ During checkout, use coupon code BITCOIN to get 10% off your entire order. https://i.imgur.com/vRl0Kua.jpg Title: Re: Excellent Book Publisher Accepts Bitcoin: Albert Hofmann's Discovery of LSD, etc Post by: Raoul Duke on July 19, 2013, 09:43:41 PM Great stuff.

I'm trying to confirm whether or not Synergetic Press can claim bragging rights as "the first book publisher to accept Bitcoin". I know that some ebooks have been sold with bitcoin, but as far as I know this is the first time an entire catalog of actual books have been available for BTC. Also check out their latest publication, Tony Juniper's "What Has Nature Ever Done for Us? How Money Really Does Grow on Trees." I know there are a lot of economist types on this forum, so they might take note: Quote "For too long now, the preservation of nature has taken a back seat to the rapid progress and profit of the economy … the main reason we need to protect nature is not an environmental reason, it’s to keep the economy going. This book is Juniper’s attempt to bring the ecology versus economy debate into the mainstream for the first time … Instead of delivering his message through overly technical explanations or experimental findings, Juniper establishes and defends his argument through riveting and accessible anecdotes that display just how important environmental balance is to a booming economy" http://www.synergeticpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/front_cover1-230x350.png Order ($30USD / 0.3 BTC): http://www.synergeticpress.com/books/what-has-nature-ever-done-for-us/ Use coupon code BITCOIN for 10% off entire order.
