Attention: Free Books (Sept. ’08 Book Giveaway)

October 1, 2008 by Travis Jonker   1 comments

I have a proposal for you. A fair trade to offer. One email for one book. Interested in taking me up? If you would like to own any of the books below, send me an email (scopenotes@gmail.com) before the clock strikes midnight on Friday. Be sure to name the book you are most interested in. I’ll collect all those entries, write each on one of those 80’s sticky octopi (Wacky WallWalkers), and throw them all at the nearest wall. Whichever makes it to the bottom first will be the winner.

Let’s take a look at the books up for grabs:

“The One, The Only, Magnificent Me!” by Dan Haseltine.

“Scary Places: Spooky Cemeteries” by Dinah Williams.

Best of luck!
