Whenever we run a contest or quiz on this site, we offer the winner/s some kind of prize. Until now, we’ve never gotten around to showing what the prizes look like. So here, friends, is our current assortment of Freakonomics schwag. The T-shirt and yo-yo are, as they say, unavailable in any store. (So is Don King, as far as I know.)
The hand-signed book. Occasionally we run out and instead send a copy with a signed bookplate (see below).
The yo-yo; back story here.
The 2008 fact-a-day calendar, produced and sold by Barnes & Noble.
The T-shirt, worn here by occasional Freakonomics research assistant Dean Strachan, shown about to clock Don King.
The signed bookplate. You can actually get one of these anytime you want, for free, here.—————————————————————————————————–
