Rock! I'm a huge Leonard fan, and it's been a while since I've scored anything from the First Look program (http://www.harpercollins.com/firstlook/).

Very cool! Congratulations!

Niiiiccceee. I'm jealous.

Oh, neat. So you actually write a review? Does the review get published anywhere? Or just the website?

[yendi]

I think it's just the wbesite -- they want amazon-style reviews that they can use for online blurbing, I think.

I'm choked that you have to be a U.S. resident to take part.

[dangerdean.livejournal.com]

But cool that you got the book, nonetheless.

The Harpercollins uk site (http://www.harpercollins.co.uk/competitions/default.aspx) will ship anywhere in the world for their contests (not that I've ever won one).

Dude, that is excellent!

(I wonder if *I* will ever get to be one of the cool kids. Of course, it would help if I actually joined. Thanks for the link, too!)

Thanks for the info! Now if only Tor would do something like this... :)

[yendi]

That would be heaven!

VERY cool, Adam!

Advance copies were always the best perk of working at bookstores, and certainly the part I miss the most.

*nod* One of the most frustrating things about walking into Tall Tales is seeing all the ARCs they've got sitting behind the counter, taunting me.

Luckily, I still get to go to library conferences and pick some up, just not as frequently.
