Giveaway started 27 Mar 2012
What's this about?
We've blagged 25 copies of The Amsterdam Marco Polo Guide for MoneySavers who fancy discovering a new city. The RRP is £5.99 but you can get it for £4.19 (incl del) from Waterstones.

If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:
"Get me to Amsterdam"
To do this you need to be registered for the Forum (if you're not, when you click reply you'll be taken through the process. It's free, of course).
APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages to see if you've won a copy next week (week commencing 2 Apr). If you don't get in contact promptly you won't receive a copy and if there are any remaining books they'll be given away.
But bear in mind 75 names are being picked and there are only 25 books (because sadly not everyone gets in touch, so doing it this way helps to speed up the administration process), so you'll have to get in quick.
Also, please DON'T email in as your name won't be counted. Nor include your contact details in this thread as, for your own safety, we don't allow personal details on the public forum so your post may be deleted.
This giveaway appears in the weekly email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips) and will close at 10am on Monday 2 Apr so please get your posts in before then.

The book's blurb ...
"[FONT="]Most travellers want to have fun and feel relaxed from the moment they arrive at their holiday destination - that’s what Marco Polo Guides are all about. This new series will appeal to all types of travellers, including those who haven’t bought a travel guide before! Marco Polo’s unique insider tips are peppered throughout the guide - offering a real insight into the destination. Includes special tips for when it rains, things to do for free, chill out and relax. Practical information on shopping, food and drink and much more – plus a phrasebook section. Also includes a fully indexed street atlas and a pull-out map.[/FONT]"

How will the people be chosen?
25 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent to each of their winning usernames requesting their USERNAME, FULL NAME and ADDRESS details (there'll be an email address to send this information to, we don't want it done via private messages).
The FIRST 25 people to get back to me will win a copy of the book.
The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.
When will I get the book?
The publisher providing these books will send them out directly though, to aid administration, this won't happen until all 50 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
