ALL THE BOOKS HAVE NOW GONE, THANKS!
[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif]

Congratulations to the following 50 people who have potentially netted a free book. The first 25 to send me a Private Message (click my name and then "send a private message to MSE Natasha") with their FULL NAME AND ADDRESS will receive a copy.
If I don't hear from at least 25 people by next week (week commencing 9 August) any remaining books will be given out on a first come first served basis (subject to whether you've received a book in previous giveaways, though it's worth private messaging anyway as if there are many copies left over, you may still get one) at a later point. So please be quick!

Please DO NOT send me a private message if YOU'RE NOT A WINNER ON THIS LIST - just keep an eye on this thread, it'll be updated with details of how to request a leftover copy at some point next week.

If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:
"Get outta town!"
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 back to see if you've won a copy next week (week commencing Monday 2 August). 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. This is usually around a week after the results have been announced.
But bear in mind 50 names are being picked and there are only 25 books, 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 will be deleted.
This thread will shut on Monday 2 August so please get your posts in before then.

The book's blurb...
"This book is a complete guide to daily life in the USA, from finding a home to finding work or even setting up a business from scratch. Live & Work in the USA is illustrated with first-hand accounts from people living in America and is full colour, with numerous maps and photographs throughout.
Set out to be easily accessible, each chapter guides you through the practicalities of a move to the USA, from setting up home to finding a job. In particular, it gives advice on renting accommodation, opening the right bank account, finding your ideal home, obtaining a competitive mortgage and making the most of your leisure time.
There is also easy access to urgent information such as emergency phone numbers, laws and regulations and healthcare advice. The employment section of the book covers vital information, such as the skills and trades most in demand, permanent, seasonal and temporary work, salaries, working hours and holidays, trade unions and contracts, starting or buying your own business and sources of advice and assistance."

How will the people be chosen?
50 people 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).
The FIRST 25 people from that list to get back to me will win a copy of the book.
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 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.
