Kits for the book "Exploring Arduino, Tools and Techniques for Engineering Wizardry"

Question

I just bought the book, "Exploring Arduino, Tools and Techniques for Engineering Wizardry", ISBN 978-1-118-54936-0.

On page xxi, it states "This book's partner, Newark element 14, has created kits specially designed for the contents of this book. You can even use the coupon code at the back of this book to get a discount.".

I cannot find this coupon code. I contacted 2 people at the web site and neither one knows what kits are available for the book or where the coupon code is in the book.

I sent J. Blum an email, but he states that he can't respond to all the emails.

I realize I can buy parts separately, but the promise of available kits is why I bought the book.

I would appreciate any information anyone has regarding this.

Mr Blum was a college student at the time of his book and did many blogs here in concert with element 14 wishes. He was very good at it. I thing he moved on after school with life in general and stopped visiting here. I do wish him the best.

You can also follow along with some of the projects in the book using the on-line Arduino / breadboard simulator at:

https://circuits.io/

Not all components in the book are available there but there are plenty to get you started with.

There is a link to the bundles here:

The specified item was not found.

although it appears to be restricted to certain regions

If you go to this page:

http://www.exploringarduino.com/parts/

and select the components in turn it has links to Newark part codes

Also there are some tutorial videos in Element14 that follow along closely with the book here:
