These books are going off to the legal deposit library:
But this book is going to someone picked at random from the comments to this post.
The beads aren’t going anywhere, I just hadn’t noticed they were on the table and then I thought they looked pretty.
So, leave a comment if you want a free book! I’ll post worldwide, and you don’t have to know me – in fact I think I’d prefer it if it went to someone who didn’t know me, because then it wouldn’t look like favouritism. But I have no control over this, because the winner will be picked at random.
What’s it about? It’s about courtesans, programmers, revolutionaries, genderqueer bodyguards, technological tinkerers, assassins and eels. It’s about technology that’s very nearly indistinguishable from magic and enemies that are very nearly indistinguishable from family. It’s about 375 pages long. Why not give it a shot?

Me me me! =)
Go on then, I’ll enter as I haven’t got round to buying it yet!!
I would love to read it. If I don’t win, I’ll be buying a copy!
MEMEMEMEMEMEME! Er… me, please?
I really, REALLY should not buy books, as I have (officially) No Spare Cash…
ME TOO PLEASE.
Please enter me!
It’s an actual book! Congratulations!
Um…enter me too please? The book sounds quite interesting.
Me please!
I have already bought a copy (page 124, loving it) but I’d love to win a second copy because then I could lend it to people!
Oh please! The household budget is refusing to do anything helpful these days, and I’d been trying to calculate how much Christmas money I might or might not get.

Me, please? I’ve been dithering about whether to get hardcopy or e-books.
Oooh, me! If it’s not too late to enter.
Ooh, Me!
me too!
Ooh, bookly and good!
Sounds rather wonderfully intriguing.
Memememe!
I may be too late to enter, but am doing so if not!
I’m really sorry, but I made the draw on Friday!
