    Default Grant W&G giveaway!!!

    Ok, I've thought long and hard on this. I have a Grant hardcover of Wizard and Glass. It is not in the best collectable condition. It needs a new dustjacket (I believe you can still get one from Grant really cheap) due to minor shelfwear and rubbing against other books when it's been pulled out. I bought it when it first came out and had no idea of it's value. It's been my reading copy...and as it's my only copy it's been read many times. Aside from the rubbing/shelfwear on the dustjacket there is some dirt (quite possibly can be cleaned) on the outer page edges and I am a smoker. And I HAVE smoked while reading it. With that said, I have a dilemma...I need a new copy and know myself well enough to know I won't buy another as long as I have one, SO someone here must help me by taking this book from me. Thank You!


    Ok, now the rules:

    1.You MUST need it (not already have the Grant HC edition).

    2. You MUST want it.

    3. You MUST love it.

    4. You MUST NOT sell it.

    5. You MUST have no less than 50 posts (off topic posts do not count).

    6. You MUST do a giveaway soon after (doesn't matter big or small).

    7. You MUST enter via PM.

    Please DO enter the drawing irregardless of where in the world you are. Shipping is free. You have until the last day of February to enter. It will not ship till sometime in March. I think that's everything.

    excellent idea Brice! I have the HC, so I'm not in the drawing, but I know how hard it is to find one. I was lucky enough to get it through a bookstore special order when it came out. Someone will be very lucky to have this!

    I just wandered into my local Waldenbooks and found it on the shelf. I was thrilled as I didn't even know he was working on it actively (I had never been on the internet back in those days for more than a couple minutes and even then only once or twice in the early nineties). It was just one great big motherfuckin' surprise.

    Much luck to you Aaron!


    After this is gone I won't even have a paperback copy until I get a new HC. Yes, I'm reading it now also...kinda' saying goodbye to it properly.

    I love the "you must make another giveaway part". It's very foxy and good. Great idea.

    But next time please giveaway yourself, Brice. That would be the best.

    Roland would have understood.

    But, I'm not sure there'd be entrants dear.

    I think I will add one more requirement: The winner must post a picture of themself with their new book. I like this rule.
