And the winners are…

Tuesday, 19th December 2006 by James

Thank you to everyone who entered our Free Book competition which ended last week. We were overwhelmed with almost 1000 unique entries and our glamorous assistant picked the following random five people to receive free signed copies of Not in the Guide Book

  • Tom Davis, PA, U.S.A
  • Robert Sanchez, Salamanca, Spain
  • Ian McCurdy, MI, U.S.A
  • Nico Korn, Belgershain, Germany
  • Andrena Harrison, Bucks, United Kingdom

Congratulations to you all, and commiserations to the many who we couldn’t give a free book to.

If you didn’t win then online book stores around the globe are still able to deliver in time for Christmas, so you can still get a copy for your Brother / Son / Nephew / Father / Uncle or even yourself at the following sites: Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.co.jp or Bokus.com (Sweden).
