A million books will be given away. Imagine the rush!!

  • Well, I'd like to be a volunteer... but can understand the bookshops' reactions.
  • They want to give away a million books and each 'giver' gets to give 48 books away.

    Hmmm...
    So they're going to need 20,833 1/3 volunteers then.
  • Oh I think this is great! What a terrific and original marketing idea! I'd love to be one of the twenty thousand...I can think of plenty of friends I would love to give a book to...
  • I rather like the range of books on offer, too. Seems to a good cross section.
  • But you have to tell them why you want to give these books and where you would do it.
    (see the details mentioned in the other Book night thread)
    But it is still a great idea to get people reading.
  • we went in to Blackpool last Sunday and there were people giving away james pattersons new childrens book away on behalf of tesco's.
    must admit it brightened my day up being given a free book :)
