  • Big announcement, Planet Money is writing a book.

  • It's been in production for over a year, and today,

  • finally, it's available for pre-order at planetmoneybook.com.

  • It's called Planet Money, a guide to the economic forces that shape your life.

  • It has brand new stories, updates on some favourites, and beautiful illustrations.

  • Almost everybody on the team helped make it.

  • We think it's like the best of planet money turned into something you can hold or give to a friend.

  • Each section is a little collection of stories that help you use economics to make life a little richer,

  • from working career, to dating and family, to retirement and food.

  • And of course we'll be doing some episodes about the behind the scenes things we learned, like this.

  • Pre-ordering a book helps the author so much more than waiting to buy it,

  • because this sends a signal to the booksellers to stock up,

  • to promote it, put it on that front table when it publishes.

  • So, help us get those strong pre-order sales.

  • By pre-ordering,

  • you'll get a free gift and a month of Planet Money Plus if you aren't already a subscriber.

  • Go to planetmoneybook.com.

  • That's planetmoneybook.com.

  • Thank you.

  • NPR.
