    Well done on your win. I've had several book prizes from Transworld publishing in the past.

    I see you have a phone number for them, if you want to, you could ring and check them out. But if it were me i'd send my details, after all, us compers regularly give out our name and address details to companies we dont know, in the hope of winning a prize, it's not like giving passwords or bank details.
