What's this about?
We've blagged 25 copies of Marco Polo's Berlin travel guide for MoneySavers planning a city break this spring. The RRP is £5.99, but you can get it for £4.19 from Marco Polo.

If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:
"Get me to Berlin!"
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 the week commencing 8 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 Mon 25 Mar, so please get your posts in before then.

The book's blurb ...
"People have always been hooked on Berlin: the city never stops reinventing itself. Despite its tumultuous past, today Berlin considers itself very much at the modern heart of Europe and is acknowledged as a trendsetter the world over. Experience all of Berlin’s attractions with this up-to date, authoritative guide. Discover hotels, restaurants and trendy nightlife venues, numerous shopping tips, find out about festivals and events, tips for travelling with kids plus a German phrasebook section.
This practical, pocket-sized guide takes you on a tour through its endlessly varied cultural landscape, and shows you its lively nightlife and enticing shops. The Insider Tips explain how to take a ride in the U-Bahn Cabrio (open-top metro) and where to buy violet mustard, milk grappa, and garlic chocolates. To help you find your way around there’s a detailed street atlas inside, a useful public transport map in the back cover, plus a handy pull-out map."

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 25 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.
