The book's blurb...

"There has never been a better time to take a gap year or career break, the recent economic climate has seen a rise in mature gappers, seizing their opportunity to see the world with wiser eyes.

Get the most from your travels with all the essential information on the range of opportunities available to professionals and mature gappers."

How will the people be chosen?

90 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 30 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 30 winners have provided their name and address. So it may take several weeks between the giveaway's end and actual receipt. This thread will be updated to let winners know when they have been sent out.
