Also (in case you didn’t notice) before the full moon and candles, this was the book that every participant in the Wheel of Penalty at the 2024 Worlds had to lay hands on and solemnly swear that they were up to no good. There’s surely video of this somewhere…

Yonomicon 'Merica Edition
As memtioned above, I purchased the 'Merica Edition. I also opted for the “Delivery In Person”.
“The author will take a paperback copy of the book to the gun range, shoot a hole in, then take it to a burger joint where he will eat the largest burger on the menu with fries and get ketchup stains on the book to prove it happened.”
So after I purchased the book, Mr. Mark @popartmogul sent me a email asking for scheduling a meeting time for the delivery.
I purposed that I could “Aid” in 'Mericanizing my order. He told me that that was a special edition and that he had not sold one. Then he realized he had, and I was the buyer.
After several emails, we set a meet up at a undisclossed Ranch in Southern California that is pro 2nd Ammendment.
Mr. Mark met my kids and we had some fun yoyo chat and trick sharing before the Shenanigans began.
We decided to also 'Mericaize some yoyos.
This red one is my Son’s.
My daughters purple yoyo literally vaporized. We only found splinters of one half, the axel and some string. Mr. Bullseye Mark Mcbride hit dead center.
My kids and I signed a Yoyo for Mr. Mark also, prior to 'Mericaization.
So neither of us really “Knew” what would happen with shooting a book. Neither of us had previous experience with this. But Mr. Mark came prepared with a ream of paper.
Once we completed our “For Science” experimentation, we chose our tool, made some practice shots, then Mr. Mark 'Mericaed the Book.
One Shot - Bullseye into the center of the yoyo!
First stage of the special edition - Complete!
Next step - Burgers.
I had originally picked out a favorite burger joint, but on the way there, realized it was closed.
We shifted gears, found a new place and headed there.
We had an amazing dinner. Great conversation about yoyo and life.
Mr. Mark is amazing! Humble, Funny! It was an honor to meet and hang out with him!
So here is the final pictures of the 'Merica Edition book and yoyos.

This is officially my favorite YoYo’s based story and I hope it gets memorialized @theyoyoarchive
@Pun1sh3R do you mind excluding pictures of your kids if I put this story on the boomer club socials. It’s kind of amazing.
Also I now want a yoyo that’s been Americanized for some odd reason. Might have done thing neat to do at the range at some point (with range master approval)

Thank you so much for documenting this awesome special edition and special delivery option. This is one of the coolest things I have seen online in general!

Here are some takeaways;
Dont hit in the center (Purple).
There were a total of 4 yoyos today that faced the firing squad.
Maybe Mr. Mark will share a picture of his Mericaized yoyo, we just barely grazed the edge. Precision Marksmanship!
On the last yoyo, the yoyo itself remained intact. Targeted only the cardstock.

Was Mark already a precision shooter or did you coach him a bit?

Yeah everything about this story is just insanely awesome.
What other hobby would this happen?
Some people don’t realize just HOW niche yo-yoing is. That our community literally feels like an actual physical community. Where any one normal person might be able to run into and hang out with the legends on any given day. It’s honestly wild and I really really dig. I feel like WITH this community. The yo-yo community. The word COMMUNITY just hits different.
