Since I started running BRS I've picked up a few second hand books that are still in pretty good shape. These books have been kept in a drawer in my home for that time, to be used in competitions. So far we have used them in competitions, letting the winner pick a book, but we have a fair few left. I'm going to be moving from Georgia, USA to Victoria, Australia in 4 or so months and I cannot take them with me.

For that reason, I'm giving them away! Over the next three months I will be running some mini competitions and things where you can grab one of these books. They are second hand but they have no markings, and most of them have no spine cracks or anything. Most of them could be passed off as new, but I'm too honest to say it's new when it's not.

So, look out for the first competition, which will be posted tomorrow. I will also include photos of the books so you guys know the condition they're in, and the winner can just pick which one they want till the pile is gone .

Some books in the pile include (click for fullsize):

I may also be adding some of my beaten up books, depending on how successful this is. People who win a book will also get some of our business cards, and the first competition may yield a bonus "Easter" themed gift .


The competitions can be found in the Competition Entries board, and here's a running list of them:
Book Giveaway: Caption this
Book Giveaway: Insert a Dirty Word
Book Giveaway: Design a Cover
Book Giveaway: New Ideas
Book Giveaway: Design a Cover 2

I know this is posted on "April Fools Day" but it's not a joke. I guess you will have to wait until tomorrow for the solid proof, unless you visit my Facebook where you will find a discussion on my wall about having to return home, not long ago.
