From last week’s Microsoft’s MIX10 conference I got my hands on a dozen copies of the Windows Phone 7 Series “Metro” book (still with that new-book smell) ready to give away.
With a word count and font-size comparable to most childrens’ storybooks, this is the perfect read for those who aren’t particularly fond of thick books like myself. There are 47 pages of thrilling backstory uncovering what is Metro and where it came from, complex character development of Anna and Miles, and something every book should have; pictures, lots of pictures.
Here’s your chance to own one of 12 early copies of what is set to top this year’s best-seller list. To enter,
- Submit at least one comment to this post (only one counts)
- Please ensure you use a real email address so I can contact you
- Be a resident of United States of Anywhere in the world
- Entries close 31 March 2010 AEST
Entries now closed. Winners will be notified soon.
Can I has one please?!
I’m excited that they designed a whole user-interface around an Eddie Murphy movie!
This sounds awesome
But can I multi task with it?
People read in bathrooms, so I guess yes.
It’s really a lookbook, isn’t it? I like the look of this lookbook.
This book looks nearly as good as the Windows Phone 7 itself…maybe I can use it instead of my Android phone
…if I win one?!
Wha..? “Be a resident of United States of Anywhere in the world”? I don’t seem to quite get what’s meant by that?
It’s a joke. Many online giveaways are US only.
Oh, I feel stupid now :<
Dear Long Zheng,
Just happened uppon your page from the Geosense page, which I got to from Within Windows, which I go to from… All great pages, interesting info. Now bookmarked.
I’m a Wintel server guy that doesn’t work with Windows Mobile devices but I’ve (ab)used them for my own purposes since Windows CE 2.0. Would love to read the book.
Cheers,
Paul
Looks like a great book – plus I travel on the Metro (over/underground railway) most days here in the North East of England in the UK so could read a Metro design guide on the Metro!
Windows Phone 7 was MY idea… now give me one of these will ya….
Ok, count me in! Loved the “Resident of United States of Anywhere in the world” … very funny
Count me in Long Zheng..
I love that new-book smell. Can I have one?
Can I please win anything this time?! I’ve always participated in your giveaways and never won!
I’d really love to get my hands on one of these.
Sweet, count me in, I really like Metro and the book will be an excellent addition to what I hope will be a large collection of Metro products.
At least with this I can copy and paste it thanks to my photocopier and pritt stick.
If I can haz a copy, maybe it will help me start something too
Hey there – Early WinPhone Adopter here (Dev-wise) for both, Silverlight and XNA. I dig the Metro Style, though 1.) there are some important controls missing from the current CTP, like the “Metro-Style” Panorama control and 2.) that my HD2 won’t be upgradeable after all. I’d like to own a book please
Pretty please?
I’ll never ask for anything again, unless you have a #wp7s giveaway this holiday season

Would Love to have this book.
Might take a nibble.
Great competition Long.
I hope none of the pages are dog eared!
Please send me a copy over to the UK!
I’d be ecstatic if I could get my hands on a book like this.
Words could not describe how i would feel if i got this
I’d like to win. Also, I like this site design better than the past one.
I would love to have one of these!
Fantastic book!
I’d love to have one of these babies
I would love to win this book. It looks great
Looks very interesting. Please send me a copy.
This book looks amazing, I’d really love a copy.
It would be nice to receive a free book for once, especially one this exclusive. My Amazon Cart is getting heavier to push again; all those (pricey) textbooks to cover for next quarter…and this would make a perfect treat
It would be great to have one
Winning is everything.
Drat! As always, late to the party! I liked the book when you displayed it at the MIX10.
Oh pretty please!
It’s my birthday on the 27th, present? Please Long?
Damn, tried to get one at MIX but they were all gone by the time I got to the Commons!
Gimme one pleasssssssssse
I love WINDOWS – love life without walls
Can I have one please?
Nice one, I only want one copy!
One question about WP7S, would it offer same integration with my live account as google does on their Android. i.e. IMAP access to e-mails, Calendars, photos and skydrive etc.?
I’d like a copy!
I’m in for some Metro love!
Hmm, that sounds wrong, but I’d love a copy of this.
I wouldn’t mind something like this, good inspiration for future projects (hopefully).
Am I permitted to copy and paste the text of the book?
Now if only we can get the metro trains here in Melbourne looking this good!
I would love one of these too!
oh yes please
I’d like one!
Count me in.
Oh, how much I would love to have this. Aside from the story, it would be a fun coffee table book.
Hi Long
I’d like one too
Ooooh Pick Me! I think its the least you can do for finding you a “cheap” room in London!
I would love this!
Yes please.
Cool I would love to own this.
I would love a copy of the book! Really like the Metro user interface from what I’ve seen so far.
Loyal Windows Mobile / Phone fan (still running a HP h6365 with WM 2003 SE) and looking forward to getting a WP7S phone, I would love this.
Thank you Long for making this competition available to the USAnywhere!
ps. Are you going to consider writing for Windows Phone 7?
Count me in.
Hmmmmm, I looove the smell of a new book in the morning….and it looks nice too. I’d happily adopt one of these.
I have been amazed of everything I’ve seen so far and to see this in reality would be really really cool….
I can haz book?
Count me in. Recently switched from WinMo 6.0 to Android 1.5, but already planning to switch to this as soon as I can.
So is this genuine Windows Phone 7 Series bookware?
I would like one copy of the book please. Besides, I love the Metro UI.
Expect it to be an interesting book, especially love to quote “… Because it’s authentic…” from the book as in http://www.istartedsomething.com/20100316/a-look-at-metro-the-book/
Can I have one copy pretty please?
thank you.
Looks like a great read Long!
A well designed and printed book of clean typography, smart photography and pictograms that exude simplicity; from a company once described as tasteless? Count me in!
Would be nice to have
I could use a copy!
That would be great to have.
I’m not directly a Metro-addict or totally insane about the style as they’ve written the book; but it looks very good and promising!
Brilliant, would very much like this addition to my bookshelf.

Mmm, paper.
Cool book as per the images.
Let’s see if Brasil is part of the world.
What’s make the book a “must have” is the reason why it has been created, i think that Windows Phone 7 is going to change our lives and part of the change is in that book too, that’s why i love to receive one copy.
Nice contest Long.
Count me in please! I simply love design books like this and couldn’t make it to MIX10.
Would love to have one!
YES. YES I WANT THIS. I mean, ehrm: yes I want this.
Interesting, im planning to do some winpone7 dev work, so that books would be really interesting to look though.
Love it. Me wants.
Can I please have it as an e-book, so I at least can read about WP7 on my HD2…?
I. Love. Windows. 7. Tee-hee!
Don’t getting my hands on this and checking it out.
Hi. Im would Love to have One of These. Thx for this interessting blog
I would love to win this
<3 WP7S
well heck this is a comment
I would really like to receive a book for free…
I’d like to get one of those too.
Count me in. I assume Copy and Paste functionality will come via an OTA update to the book?
A great book to read the kids at bedtime.
Beyond the tongue-in-cheek jesting at what many may consider as a book full of design rhetoric, I would find this an excellent addition to my collection of various corporate branding paraphernalia. In fact, I have a design teacher at my alma mater that I’d like to share this with for her corporate branding class.
Further, the design mantra of the Metro visual brand is at the intersection of all my interests (as alluded to in a comment on an earlier post http://bit.ly/9W8V5V): geekery, graphic design, typography, transit, and clear and simple design that communicates well, is transparent, functional, and beautiful.
Would love to have one of these, Long
I would love to have one
For light reading on the throne.
So you’re the one who took them all?
I attended MIX but couldn’t get a copy of this book. I was told they ran out.
I didn’t get them from the Commons, Microsoft PR people had them during interviews
I would love to have that book
please count – sounds nice
Can you send me one please
I’m all in for international giveaways! And I’m already a WP7 developer…
Looks like lots of people want the book.
Can I haz?
I would like a copy please (-_-)
Nice give away Long! Best of luck to everybody.
Isa
That are a lot of reactions already! The design of the book is really cool, wanna have one!
Excellent! I hope to buy a WP7S some day
Looks great. Would love a copy! –Thanks
What a beautiful book.
I would like to be one of the people to have this book. Looks good indeed.
Thanks.
As we have a ton of entries already and its unlikely that all the people here who want the book will get one. Would it be possible to scan it to PDF so developers/designers likes myself who are building app’s can get to understand Metro better
That would be so awesome!
I would love to own this book.
Count me in too!
I ♥ Windows Phone!
I’m a huge microsoft fan and love the look of these books. Which goes without saying, I will be purchasing a new Windows Phone 7 series the day they release. Let’s show those iPhone guys Microsoft can create a popular phone too! Love your site. I hope I’m lucky enough to win one of your books!
Can wait to start building apps for it
Metro is not only a word that has the meaning of fast and in motion.. It has the same meaning in most of the languages for instance in Portuguese, English, French, Spanish and most of the languages it means Transportation and i hope this “transportation” can lead us to develop great apps 
Great to see an mobile OS which places so much emphasis on typography.
Please pretty please
Not sure if Im too late for a book though…..
What do want to gift me today..?
Ppppppllllleeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
I would have copy & pasted it several times but….
I love books about things!
Especially about things that i like to use.
I love one of those. =D
Count me in !
I want one!
Thanks for the giving it away! Hope to win it.
I’d love one. Metro is awesome!
I’dlove a copy of this book. Cheers!!
Once upon a time, there was a ubiquitous phone with orchardy beginnings. This phone tempted the little girl geek from Redmond. Should she bite the forbidden fruit? Should she wait for the 7th day when all was good? She waits. She wants the book, please.
I can haz book?
Okay! The Book is Mine! Mine!
Windows Mobile 7..I love you
Seriously, this thing is GOLD. I WANT IT!
I would love to receive one
I wonder if Microsoft provides PDF/XPSs of this?
Need one.
Sounds sweet. I’ve really been keeping track of the Windows 7 design and keen to see how it can play out against the iPhone and Andriod’s take on clean and simple.
New book smell.. there’s nothing quite like it, is there!
I was supposed to be there and missed it because of a stupid project, I’d love to get my hands on this!
I can haz Metro book?
A book such as this would be a fine addition to any literary collection!
Some people will do anything for comments! Others will do anything for a book! I fall into the second category!
Long, hook me up!
I’d love to have one.
Here’s hoping one of those books will make it to Mexico City!
cool. want.
Metro is an exciting interface that I’m happy to see Microsoft embracing. Well done
Metro + WP7 = life is beautiful
Looks good. I would love to have one!
That book is just beautiful. C’mon, shower some love over here to Singapore!
Hello! Put me down for a copy, please! Ha ha… pick me!
Paul

Anyway….I’d love to have one
WP7 ROCKS!
Want metro booklet. want.
Count me in! I’m already a fan of your blog, but your giveaways add a whole new level of awesome! If only I could win something. Why do I never win anything? Not even at my University’s cheap little residence hall raffle my freshman year…
You had me intrigued at “new book smell.” I would really like a copy of this book, and a free one would be even better. I’d be willing to read it and review it if that makes a difference.
Looks very interesting. Please send me a copy.
Long please send it to me

But yes, a book would be lovely, pretty please? 
Danny.
Do want!
*Waves hand in front of screen* … You will give me one of the 12 copies of that book.
Talking from Saudi Arabia .
I want one.
This would be perfect as I’m trying to replicate the “metro” ux for a website I’m designing for a class, solely in html+css+js. Of course, if that proves too difficult, I’ll just sneakily use Silverlight.
Hello
Metro = Love…
Keep the great Windows Phone 7 news coming! Love the istartedsomething blog
Want one. Kthxbai.
Ooh, ooh, I want one.
At least from the design, Windows Phone 7 is really awesome… the Metro UI is simply unique.
Hope I can get a copy
Are there versions of this book that are compatible with Windows 7, Xbox Live and Windows Phone 7 so that I can read it on any one of these platforms and where I’m up to will co-exist between the three…? =P
wonder if i could recive this using Borderlinx
I can reaaally make use of this book.
I would really love to get one.
Yes please
Can I have one? Puhleeeez! Any love for MCSE? Haha…
Thanks for all the great Mix2010 coverage.
:O
yaaay, fingers crossed ><
I’m a designer, and this book would surely not only ease the wait for WP7S but also inspire me in many ways!
I would like one of these amazing books.
I guess its wonderful read to get intereded for WPS 7 development.
That book looks so amazing! I would really love to get one to inspire me while I write WP7S apps! =)
Big text and a short page count? Sounds perfect. Thanks!
That book looks great
Long I want to unsubscibe to email updates but I can’t as the ‘Submit Comment’ click box is overlaying the ‘unsubscribe’ area.
thanks
Cool…the look of the content is very similar to Metro UI of WP7S…:)
Imagining myself reading this book while taking a dump
No but seriously, it would make a great interesting reading!
oo, fingers crossed.. I love usability experience datas!
I really hope I can get my hands on one of these
Yes, I would like to have one.
Thank you.
I would like to win this.. Thanks
Haha, I like the “United States of Anywhere.” Thanks for being so generous with giving away your swag!!!
I’ve never won one of these things. I’d like to.
im in..
Oh this seems great. I hope it gives inspiration for app development
I’m in!
Really intriguing how everyone turns up at a free giveaway even if it’s a not so useful book or a free sticker.
Would love to have a copy of this… I looked through the pics of it and spotted a Dutch railway station sign in it. And now I want the book.
I would love to have this book with my other design books!
I love the new metro theme as well, so inspiring to say the least.
Count me in!
I’d be super happy if I got this book!
Greets from your Portuguese fans.
I would love to have one here in Portugal
Keep the awsome work.
Metro?? Most every metropolitan area I go to smells like urine… I seriously hope this doesn’t.
I like new book smell.
Wow, i liked that book when you showed it and wonder if it’s possible to buy it somewhere, but get it for free it’s even better
I Love Typography!!!
I am a Zune owner since 2007,
Back in 2007 Zune didn’t had Metro UI,
But it’s software did..I loved the interface
I saw a lot of potential in it…as it really clicks with users
With ZuneHD and WinP7S it has gone to all new level, and is freaking awesome….
btw I would love to read more about it,
keeping posting updates
& can u please send me the book, only if it is feasible for you to deliver in India
I really wanted to leave an original comment. Something funny and witty, with a slight dash of sarcasm.
Really wanted.
I hope I win. If the book does happen to go to me, I guess I’ll love it forever.
I love Metro
Windows Phone 7 rock!!!
C’mon….. Please
I’ll bake you a cake.
This would look nice on my desk
I’d love a copy
I’ll Take It!
I know there’s already a gazillion comments here so there’s little chance that I’ll get one, but it doesn’t hurt to hope, does it?
I love Metro.
The second I saw this book I was dying to get my hands on it. I searched everywhere trying to find one! Ugh I would kill to have one of these
As a student of graphic design and a lover of good typography, I would love to be able to read one of these.

Hey. I would really love a copy of this book. You said that these are early copies? Does that mean that they will at some point be released to the public?
New-book smell?

Well, if you really want Win Phone 7 to be successful, i.e. to get me back from Apple’s iPhone, you HAVE to send one to me
Metro <3
I'd love to have one of it!
Count me in.

Awesome stuff mate!!
I need to have atleast 2 copies – one for bedroom and 1 for work
Thanks!
Count me in.
Metro UI looks amazing. Good job Microsoft.
Wouldn’t say no!
Metro has really caught my attention. There is something about good design, you just know it when you see it. This is the Breath of Fresh Air the industry has needed for dome time.
Looking forward to Windows Phone 7 Series. Book looks nice too.
Would love to have one of these bad boys, thanks for the opportunity!
Awesome! Looking forward to how the Windows Phone 7 Series will play out…
Hehe, fellow Melbournian here – you can save on postage!
I know where you went to school.
But seriously I am doing design in year 12 at the moment and that would really be a great resource.
This book would be incredibly awesome as a true Windows Phone enthusiast it would look beautiful on my coffee table
I would love to win a copy of this book. Please count me in the contest.
Is this book in pdf format ? so that we can all download it, instead of few people having the book itself. can anyone post the link, if any.
Would be perfect for my coffee table…if I had a coffee table…hell I’d buy a coffee table just to put this if I won it
If my math is correct, so far looks like we’ve all got a 1-in-25 chance to get one of these books.
Cool, would love to get one of these! I can’t think of another company that produces swag like MS does
I’d like to get one! Go Microsoft! Long live Metro!
I would like one!
Finally a giveaway i can participate even though the probability of winning is as small as possible
hey atleast i participated 
Hi, I’d be also interested with this book. Keep up the good work!
I use the metro to work and I live in a metropolis. So, doesn’t that qualify me to have a metro book too?
Echoing what rtshiva said, its great to be able to participate. And great work in keeping us updated on the metro UI. Personally love where this UI is taking MSFT.
I’m getting married this year and this looks like the ideal wedding present for my wife-to-be!
um…
(OK, I’d still like one even if she wouldn’t!)
/m
Metro: Make It So
Yes, I would love to take a look at it.
Sounds like a plan.
it has been long time since your last one, good to see it again
P.S: count me in..
and there seems to be spelling mistake in your article
“Be a resident of United States [ of ] Anywhere in the world”
This is a comment! I love the new typography direction…
Saw the typo too “Be a resident of United States [ of ] Anywhere in the world”. BTW, I’m from Malaysia and hope it open to Anywhere in the world.
count me in!
count me in as well
I tried doing mockups of Metro, mixed some with some designes form the Courier.
/me thinks that Metro’s the new standard for Microsoft non-desktop UXs, and the fonts are scaled up and layouts slightly different from each other.
Also, Long, have you heard of Cegoe UI?
Please, Long! =D
Be a resident of United States of Anywhere in the world. Cool.
I attended MIX and really had to smile how they explained their process how they got to this design.
Sounded like they thought that process they used was something special to them (Moodboards, Personas, Research, Visual Design, UX Design, etc) while actually this is bread and butter work for all design agencies out there.
Nice to see Microsoft change though…
Oh I would really love to get my hands on one of those …
And have you really ever sent anything to the United States of Austria? You see, this can be a good deal for both of us
Wow looks awesome, I’d love one!
One for me please
I need a new coffee table book…..
If I had this book, it would probably be the most stylish thing in my house.
I’ll take one!
Count me in. I’d love to have one!
Hi Long
)

Cool beans! Count me in.
Gotta love SWAG, and Im a huge fan of your website, so if I won it would ROCK!@
I can’t wait to be more Metro than my friends.
Hi… I would love to have this one…
Is that left hand doing a pinch zoom gesture? Wow, that must be one of those new-fangled multi-touch books I keep hearing about
Greetings from the United States of England, Scotland and Wales!
As possibly the only non-Microsoft-employee outside North America to own a Zune 30 and a Zune 120 I’d love the Metro book on the evolution of the UI upgrade story that started with a Twist UI
Ok, so now I have to write a really funny comment so that it doesn’t seem too… well… you know….
As a graphic design student, I would love a copy of this book. It is pretty much a perfect guide to creating anything in “Metro” style, and extending on its philosophy.
Bazinga!
Ummm, what are my chances??? XD
Also
Metro looks awesome!
Metro looks nice and simple – something missing from most smartphones today!
I deserve to win merely because of the fact that I’m the best person on this blog excluding Long, of course. Not that you care..
Certified Citizen of Anywhere
I’d love one, thanks!
Looks nice!
Set to be in top-seller list? you are kidding right? I know they did good job and creative and all.. but top-seller is really a far stretch.

I can has?
Loving it.. Please count me in..
u started something when u started to giveaway Metro books. u started a website that really cares … Keep up the good work !!
Neeeeeeed!
I’m interested in how your going to choose from everyone Long. Toss all our names into a hat?
Wow! They actually made a book for the Metro UI Design! Brilliant!
Wish I can get my hands on this. Or some place where I could order one
The Metro UI is the sex.
Whao 335 responses ahead of mine. Lol I hope I get to win one of those.
Wohoo, I would live to get my hands on one of these books. The metro books should be vouchers for a microsoft courier device
looks awesome. i think australia just became a state in anywhere, so i would love one.
I’m in.
This sure is popular, judging by all the responses this post has so far.
Looks great
I’d love to have this book. I hope I am selected!
I wants one.
wish i get lucky this time
Would love to get my hands on one of those
, but is this giveaway available in Portugal? 
Watching the slides from this book, it reminds me of the Longhorn concept ideas from 2003-2005… It would be great to have a copy
Well, you’ve managed to get me to come out from the shadows. Long time reader here. Cheers for the opportunity to win this book… it will be exciting to see how Metro does once the first WP7 phones start coming out.
I can haz metro book? I promise I’ll take good care of it
Hey Long,
I’d love a copy, and You know you love me! <3
Cool book
I would loveeee to have this book. Love the UI. Love the zune and windows phone 7 series!!
Would love a copy of the book, as the designers at Microsoft finally had their say and bested Apple at their own game. Typography and style is quite refreshing in the upcoming Phone 7 devices.
Lucky number 352!
I love Windows Phone 7 Series and I love the Metro style… I need this book
It would be great to have this book! Specially because of the bathroom multitasking feature! :p
Hope I can win!!! >:}
A Metro Netflix app would be cool.
Looks awesome. Count me in.
would like to win.
Can I haz one pleze???
Looks pretty interesting. Would love to see what the design people came up with…
Looks like fun, that book….
Would love to get a copy =)
I hope to win one, simply to make microsoft look better at my university; they teach graphic design and with it they teach Microsoft hate, all the tutors mention the arial helvestica story, the dreaded comic sans and..i can go on. They think any microsoft typeface is evil. will want to show them this, to prove MS can do something right.
also want to win this because i love the Segoe UI typeface and its implementation in zune and windows phone.
Windows 7 series is fun
Can i have Metro book one?
Can I have one?
Eagerly waiting for windows 7 series !!!
Wow, would I love to get my hands on this.
I am a resident of “somewhere” in the world but don’t know any place called “anywhere” so far.
rad!
Do want !
No seriously, seems really interesting and a physical object is always better than a virtual gallery
Anywhere in the World FTW too !
Would love to be one of the winner
I like the “United States of Anywhere in the world” condition:) And would love to win that book!
I would love a copy of this. I’m highly interested in user interface design and this looks excellent.
Do Want!
To be quite honest, seeing all the different Metro stuff almost makes me want to drive over to Redmond and see if I could steal a poster or two from their campus. Definitely want!
Would love to have a copy of the book. Thanks
Me too. I’d like to have one.
As a patriotic citizen of the United States of Anywhere I’d like to express my interest in the book.
Do want yum.
Having been utterly infatuated with the “Metro” UI style since the first time I laid eyes on it with Zune 2.0, I would LOVE one of these books.
I really love the Metro UI. This really shows that Microsoft is finally caring about UI. Windows 7 still has some inconsistencies.
I love the text that Windows Phone 7 is used and the colorful blocks squares makes it really simple, clear and clean feel to them.
This is a great book where I find it useful and enjoyable to read.
Typography + Windows Phone 7 series = <3 WUB.
Goodluck to all!
this book will be my inspiration for design, sorta..
I would love this!
