How will the people be chosen?

The 10 people who get a book will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and announced in next week's email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips).

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 10 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take a couple of weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
