| | |  Win signed Potter books 1-5
Potter fans can try their luck to win an autographed boxed set of the first five volumes of the Harry Potter series.
Independent bookstores carrying the Books for Everybody catalogue received a package with a form that expanded on the details of the contest, which have been reproduced below: Quote:
A CONTEST TO WIN
Autographed Harry Potter Boxed Set Volumes 1-5
Independent booksellers, participating in the Books For Everybody's spring catalogue program have been given the opportunity this spring to offer customers an exclusive contest to win an autographed Harry Potter Boxed Set, Volumes 1-5.
| Quote: |
Each title in the Harry Potter Boxed set, Volumes 1-5 (children's editions) will contain a book plate with J.K. Rowling's signature. The boxed set is provided courtesy of Raincoast Books and it is the only such contest this spring in anticipation of the release of the latest Harry Potter. Suggested retail value of the prize is $137.85, but the value for fans is much greater.
| Note: It seems the contest is offered in Canada alone. Quote: |
Contest entry form and a pre-pub order form will be printed on the inside cover of Spring 2005 Books For Everybody. Contest entry form is not linked to the pre-publication order form.
| Quote: |
The aim is to drive consumers to participating independents, both to enter the contest and to place their pre-publication order for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - and hopefully other titles - with participating Books For Everybody booksellers.
| Quote: |
Contest rules limit ONE entry per person. The contest ends July 16, 2005. The draw will be held on August 2nd, 2005

It's not an instore contest. No purchase is necessary, so if you know a Canadian... maybe they can send you a ballot! *runs away from all the non-Canucks pleading for a ballot* | |

Waaaa- Canada only?! Poo. Really.
I've a question, what is -exactly- that the contestants have to do to win it? I didn't get that one part. Do you have to write your own HP&HBP? As in, a fanfic? 0_0 and if so, the lenght of it would be.... 0_0
*freaks out* | |
