:D


Technically since it was first come first served, this is a freebie rather than a win! :)


With 4400 books to give away, I assume there are loads of MSEers who have/will receive a book :D

Quick query.......which book did you get and did you get your choice?


From the entry page:

"You will have the opportunity to specify your first, second and third preference of book from the ones that we have available and we will use all best endeavours to meet one of your choices. However as our stock is limited, if none of your three choices are available, we will then select one at random from what is available, if you have been selected as a winner."

From the T&Cs:

"If you have been selected as a winner, you will receive an email notification informing you by Friday August 12, 2016. Please note that we will endeavour to deliver the books to all qualifying winners within 28 days of the email notification being sent out."

I got Frankenstein (which I already own) and it's just turned up out the blue (I didn't get an email as per T&Cs). The competition ended quite a while ago and it's past the deadline they set for delivery, so I guess it's taken a bit of time to try to allocate books.
