    I just got a reserve list email - problem is, they've allocated my books to a london library and I live in Edinburgh. I've emailed them, but I guess it's too late to get anything now as I have to return the form by Monday :(

    You still have time go to the World book websites and ring them.

    I'll give it a try if they don't reply to the email - fingers crossed!

    Same here, I live in Surrey and have my local listed as Cumbria! I have emailed them and shall keep my fingers crossed.
  • Collected mine Friday previous email said I had to write a given number in each book so they could be traced, I haven't got any numbers as get as anyone else

    I'm collecting mine from a local book & model store convenient to my workplace, I phoned them on Friday and they said they'd got them in stock. They also said they were given no choice by their book supplier but to take part, I got a sense of annoyance from them - presumably because I'm giving away books whereas their job is to sell them!

    You have to ring THEM = they don't ring you.

    Waterstones are embracing the whole thing, but then, think about it, if they give out vouchers you are going to spend in their store and they get good publicity.

    Just got an email correcting the pick up point to my local library. Still not clear if I will be a giver though, or if it's a reserve reserve reserve list - anyone else? Hopefully I'll hear more before the pick up date of the 4th (like which book!).

    I was on the reserve list and as I had heard nothing from them for a while I emailed to ask if all reserves had been notified. They replied saying they were still working through the list. However the next day I received an allocation letter ! Mind you...I have not got my first or second choice but I was prepared for that.
