Win It Before You Can Buy It: The Gone-Away World

2008 at 5pm Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky

In a strange act of the Shelf Awareness gods, I somehow received two ARCs of Nick Harkaway’s upcoming book The Gone-Away World, which will be released in hardback on September 2nd. Since I, obviously, only need one copy to read (or to give to my husband, who might get to it sooner), I’m going to give away the second copy. Here’s how it works:

1. Leave a comment on this post to receive one entry.

2. Post about it on your blog to receive a bonus entry, plus an additional entry for each click-through that brings someone here to The Book Lady’s Blog.

3. The contest will be open to residents of the U.S. and Canada until Wednesday, August 27th, at 11:59pm Eastern Time. I’ll assign each entry a number and will randomly select a winner using Research Randomizer.

Click the book cover to read a description.

Oh shoot, it is coming out September 2nd? Yah, I don’t think there’s any way I’ll get it read by then. We’ll see, I guess. BTW, don’t enter me, because I got a crazy neon copy today too.

I like the cover! it is just the right amount of acid flashback Pepto Bismal and mint green to make a person want to dance a jig..

Wait until you see the finished books – they’re fuzzy!

(I work for Knopf and I probably sent you both of those ARCs )
Rebecca on August 19th, 2008 5:59 pm

Jason, if that is true, then I can’t wait to see them. Fuzzy books! How wonderful!
