The winner is!...and another drawing.

And the winner of Velveteen vs. The Junior Super Patriots is...

geekhyena, please send me your mailing information via my website contact form within the next twenty-four hours. If I do not receive your information, I will select another winner.

Speaking of selecting another winner, it's time for another drawing. This one is something I've been meaning to do for a while: a good faith drawing.

Look. Times are tough right now, and with the holidays coming, a lot of us don't have a huge amount of disposable income. I know a $25 hardcover isn't always in my budget, even when I really really want it. So that is what this drawing is for. If you want a copy but can't afford it, please comment to let me know you'd like to be entered. I will select a winner on Tuesday morning.

I don't need to know why you can't afford the book; I just ask that you only enter if you genuinely can't find the dollars right now. That way, we make things a little more level for everybody.

Same region rules as last time: US welcome, non-US only if you can pay postage. And because this has come up before, if you're in the US and would like to volunteer to pay postage for a non-US resident, you can. For this drawing, comment on the main entry if you can pay non-US postage, and while that comment won't win, I will be able to go back to it if someone from outside the US does.

If this works, I'll try to do it again. Let's spread some holiday cheer...FOR JUSTICE!

ETA: This drawing is now closed. Thank you!

I would dearly love to have a copy of the book, and the only two ways I have any chance to are if someone buys me one as a holiday gift, or if I win the drawing. So please consider me as an entrant.

Unfortunately I cannot afford $25 for a book, as much as I would love to buy it

I am a USian.

Thank you. I am still working on getting my Etsy shop off the ground while job hunting. (I would like to have my art be my income, but it may not be possible.:)) Either way, others' holiday gifties come first.
Thank you so much for doing this!!

Edit: Oh yeah, am in US, too!

Not entering, because we can afford the book, and have already ordered it. But I wanted to jump in and say I think this is really nifty!

Thanks for doing it.

:slight embarrassed wave: Some unexpected expenses are going to make the holidays way thin, and I don't have the free time to make enough gifts to compensate.

In the U.S.

You are a kind, kind /z/o/m/b/i/e person to think of this contest.
I've had to cut back on hardcovers a few years ago, and now cut back on paperbacks, too :(

I'm in the US, and I'd like to offer to pay postage, if it's needed. :)

I'm also in the US and can't afford one, that's why I seldom buy HB books. :( Thank you so very much for doing this!

I would absolutely adore the book, but definitely cannot afford it right now. May I please be entered? In the US. I appreciate that you are doing this. Thank you.

I'm a poor college kid. And, I love your work. (Also, this is a wonderful idea. Thank you so much!).

I can afford your books, but I'm willing to pay for postage and/or a book for someone else to have a great holiday. And I have a Fed Ex account number I am willing to abuse.

I am in the US, and would adore a copy, as I am definitely stretched for cash right about now.

I am a recent reader of your wonderful books! I would love it if my holidays received a very needed boost by winning one of your books. You are so good. Thank you for them!
