If I don't hear from at least 50 people by next week (week commencing 20 September) 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.

We've blagged 50 copies of the book Italian For Dummies for MoneySavers who want to learn (and hopefully master) this gorgeous language of the Mediterranean.

The RRP is £14.99 but it's available for £9.73 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:


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 back to see if you've won a copy next week (week commencing 13 September). 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. This is usually around a week after the results have been announced.

But bear in mind 100 names are being picked and there are only 50 books, 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 will be deleted.

This thread will shut on Monday 13 September so please get your posts in before then.

The book's blurb...

"As society becomes more international in nature, knowing a few words in other languages has become more useful. Perhaps you travel frequently abroad, or your business requires you to travel overseas. Perhaps you have friends and neighbours who speak other languages, or you want to find out more about your heritage by learning a little bit of the language your ancestors spoke.

Whatever your reason for wanting to learn some Italian, Italian For Dummies is the right book for you. Written in partnership with Berlitz - experts in helping people learn foreign languages - this book gives you the skills you need for basic communication in Italian, and it will get you well on your way to becoming fluent. Just think what you're family and friends will think when you order off the menu at your favorite Italian restaurant!

Italian For Dummies covers not only ordering at an Italian restaurant, but also these topics: basic spelling, grammar, and numbers; meeting and greeting, and making small talk; shopping, shopping, and even more shopping; going out on the town; business situations; travelling, checking into a hotel, and planning a trip; handling emergencies; top ten lists with advice on how to pick up Italian quickly, things you should never say in Italian, and favorite Italian expressions.

The best thing about this book is that you can learn at your own pace; for example, if you're planning a trip to Italy next year, sit down once or twice a week with this book and go through the chapters that you'll think you need for your trip. That's a lot easier than dragging yourself to a class twice a week - not to mention a lot more fun, too!"



How will the people be chosen?

100 people will be picked at random (we've a special little computer programme to do it) and announced in next week's email (if you don't already get the email go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/tips).

The FIRST 50 people from that list to get back to me will win a copy of the book.

You must send me a private message from the username account you entered the competition with. There will be no exceptions if between entering and winning you've changed your username or can't remember the account's password to access it.

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.
