How to Play
The rules are fairly standard. It is a prize draw in which you can earn up to three entries.
- Enter by commenting on this post. You don't have to commit yourself now to which prize you want, but I will find it interesting to know what prizes people are drawn to (if it's just the concept of Free Stuff, that's alright).
- You can earn another entry by being a follower of the blog - either existing or new.
- Another entry comes your way if you promote this draw (either on your own blog or elsewhere). You'll have to let me know that you've done so via the comments.
The Prizes
- David Day, A Guide to Tolkien
- Penguin Classics, Alfred the Great: Asser's Life of King Alfred and Other Contemporary Sources
- John Wacher, Roman Britain
- D Mason & A Selwood, Right Up the Empire - Victorian illustrations with amusing (modern) captions. This one's got a torn dust jacket (but it's free!)
- Jules Stewart, The Khyber Rifles: From the British Raj to Al Qaeda
- Patrick Abbott, The British Airship at War, 1914-1918
- Geoffrey Bennett, The Battle of Jutland
- Six postcards of Edward VII
- Six various royalty postcards
Good luck everyone!
As this post is probably going to generate some traffic, I have no qualms in pointing out that I don't just give books away - I sell them too. Go here to buy some!
I want in! Wow. Lots of nice offerings there. I will definitely give this a plug.

DeleteI've done the promotion as requested - http://wargamesleadslifenstuff.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/another-give-away.html - (though I'd have done it anyway - creep, creep!) so good luck with the exercise - do you want my address for the prize now?
ReplyDeleteThe khyber Rifles, Jutland or Tolkein pse.)
Thanks in anticipation (!)
You do know you're not going to win, don't you?
DeleteMe too please, I came for the free books but stayed to look around... that's what I love about blogs like that it sent me on a search for local VC winners (found one- awarded in WW1 the recipient lived until 1955) many thanks.
ReplyDeleteRegards,
Pete.
Ah, you've seen through my secret plan! I'm glad you're finding it of interest, do stick around for the ride.

PS. I like the first 3 prizes.
ReplyDeleteI also like your blog after having a look around.
cheers
Thank you. Entered you are.
DeleteBlast! I like more than one! Darn my Anglophilia!
ReplyDeleteWell, never mind - you might not win!
DeleteHaving arrived at this destination from Fran (Angry Lurker's) Blog. I would appreciate it if you might consider this comment to be in support of his entry. Kind Regards Clint.
ReplyDeleteOf course Clint. Best of luck!
DeleteWhat a splendid horde of goodies to choose from! I would certainly like to be considered and will be clearly hoping for something with a nod to the Victorian era or perhaps Tolkien inspired.
ReplyDeleteI do my best Michael. Best of luck!
DeleteI would als like to enter - the Roman Britain book looks particularly spiffing
ReplyDeleteYep, it's a classic.
DeleteThe Wife doesn't know I'm proposing to give it away. Although we have another copy, she might want to hang on to it (we had that conversation about Sweet's Anglo-Saxon primer, which *isn't* in the draw!).
Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI think that it would have to be the Kyber rifles for me.... always interested in reading anything about British colonialism and India.
Darrell.
Great prizes there chap and I too would be interested in the Kyber Rifles or Royal Post Cards
ReplyDeleteCheers. We'll see how things pan out.
DeleteCongrats on the anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI'm not so proud I won't enter, even though I won recently;)
