My friend Kevin Kelly blew past his Kickstarter funding goal in just one day for his new photography book, Vanishing Asia. It's three volumes, 1,000 pages in total, in a sturdy slipcase. Kevin has been traveling to Asia for over 40 years and these photos are the best of his best.

You can get a "Super Early Bird" price on the 3-volume set for $199, but as of this posting, only 99 of 500 remain.

Bake up a good deal when you snag a bread maker for over 40% off
If you were like everyone at the beginning of the 2020 pandemic, then you probably tried your hand at bread-making.
