Giveaway started 14 December 2010

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] The Winners[/title]
Around 150 names have been picked and a private message sent to them. If you entered the giveaway, please log into your username account to see if you've received a notification.

The first 50 to follow the exact instructions in the private message will receive a copy of the title.

If I don't hear from at least 50 people by 10am Monday 3 January (with their full, correct details), 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 HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM ME. Just keep an eye on this thread, it'll be updated with details of how to request a leftover copy, if there are any, at some point on or after 4 January.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] What's this about?[/title]
We've blagged 50 copies of the book Russian For Dummies for MoneySavers who want to learn (and hopefully master) the Eastern European language, especially if they fancy heading to the 2018 World Cup host country.

The RRP is £16.99 but it's available for £9.57 from Book Depository (inc. delivery).

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] What to do[/title]
If you're interested, just reply to this (click on 'post reply') and say:

"Вы говорите по-русски?"

(pronounced 'Vy govorite po-russki', translation: do you speak Russian?)

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 next week (week commencing 20 December). 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 150 names are being picked and there are only 50 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 on Monday 20 December so please get your posts in before then.

[title=http://images2.moneysavingexpert.com/images/dp/wtd_underline.gif] More about the book[/title]
The book's blurb...

"Whether you′re a student, a traveler, or a businessperson, or if you just want to speak basic Russian, you′ll find this book packed with practical lessons and handy references — including coverage of written Russian, a Russian–English mini–dictionary, lists of vital verbs, and more!"

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 to each of their winning usernames requesting their FULL NAME, USERNAME 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 50 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 50 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.
