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.

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
