My editor at Penguin Books confirmed that my nonfiction book “How to Survive the End of the World as We Know It” is now available Costco membership warehouse stores. (A month ago, Sam’s Club stores also started stocking it.) I’m told that both of these “Big Box” stores offer a price that is lower than at Amazon.com.
