World Book Night: one million free books to give away - have you been selected?

Some answers found through shifting through Facebook/Twitter messages:

If you are an original giver and have not received an e-mail about the website and can not log in try the link "resend my activation code" on the site as you should be preregistered.

If you have not received an e-mail about Trafalgar Square launch - are you a reserve? We seem to miss out on all e-mails regardless of location.

If you are an original giver and have not received any e-mails, is your e-mail address something starting in info@ or mail@ etc? It might have been too generic and was seen as spam. Or e-mails could've disappeared into your spam folder.

If you're waiting for a reply: there are thousands of e-mails in the WBN inbox, so it's all super delayed. I doubt they'll get to it in time, try giving them a ring instead their phone number is on the website.

If e-mails are bouncing back: this is likely because their inbox is getting too full - keep trying.

And good luck everyone, have a fabulous World Book Night (despite all the hiccups) tomorrow night!

Still no numbers here...

The website seems to not log me in but actually does. Could get it to post in A thread on there though.

A further e-mail this morning states for us givers to 'try' and put our numbers in each book.

Having just done this I need another cup of tea!!

I had to write in my numbers in three sessions. :rotfl: Being a bit of a computer nerd these days I rarely have the need for a pen! Not sure I got all the numbers right as I started seeing double after a while...

Well our local Sainsbury's has been very welcoming and I've been round there this morning to stick up a poster advertising our book giveaway at 5pm today.

Hoping we can get the books given away in record time after being featured on the radio yesterday - well done ljonski!

Just been posted on FB discussion thread - someone spoke to them today, and they've not managed to send all the numbers out, so if you've not got them by now, you probably won't be getting them. I haven't even got my books yet!

If I`m not getting my numbers I may just register them on Bookcrossing.com and put in my own numbers......it will at least be in keeping with the basic idea of tracking the journey of the book.

That's what I am currently doing! Though it's a big task registering and releasing 48 books on their website!

went into my local library this morning and as my daughters books were stamped theygave me a copy of Stuart a life backwards by Alexander Masters.
says on the back it is one of 40000 copies printed of each of the 25 braillant titles selected for World book night.
