APPEAL: Please ONLY reply to this thread if you will check your private messages next week.

150 names are being picked and there are 50 books up for grabs. This is because sadly not everyone gets in touch, so doing it this way speeds things up. Be sure to get in quickly!

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. Your post may be deleted if this is the case.

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 4pm Tuesday 24 June, so please get your posts in before then.

The giveaway has a strict one entry per household policy and entries can be deemed ineligible without any explanation or notification.

About the book and author

"Trapped in bodies barely changed since caveman days, males are now contending with corporate culture, lifelong commitment, rampant depression that’s making men four times as likely to take their own lives, and crazy expectations to be a success at work and home.!Not to mention the boy crisis in schools. It’s time to forget what we regard as ‘normal’ these days; how on earth should men actually be living?

Enter Tim Samuels, an award-winning journalist, film-maker, and host of BBC radio 5 Live’s Men’s Hour, with WHO STOLE MY SPEAR? - a sharply intelligent but also deadly funny look at the life of modern men.

An inspiring rallying call for men and masculinity which cannot be ignored – that will leave you re-thinking much about life’s big questions. And for women who wonder what’s on a man’s mind, this is the book that offers the entertainingly explosive answer."

Tim Samuels is a multi-award-winning BBC documentary-maker, journalist and broadcaster - and the ‘go-to’ man for the national media. He is one of the most distinctive and acclaimed journalists in the business.

Tim has won three Royal Television Society awards, best documentary at the World Television Festival, Race in the Media journalist of the year and been honoured for his TV and radio work by the charity Mind. But nothing compares to being described by the Radio Times as “the most eligible bachelor in town” - @TimDSamuels

How will the people be chosen?

150 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and a private message will be sent out to each of the winning users requesting their username (case sensitive), full name and address details (there'll be an email to send this information to as we don't want it done via Private Message).

The FIRST 50 people to get back to us will get a book.

When will I get it?

It will be sent out once all 50 winners have provided their name and address, so it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and the actual receipt.
