A book giveaway to celebrate the Oz release of The Pericles Commission

The Australian edition of The Pericles Commission has gone on sale!

To celebrate, we're giving away some free copies. But you don't have to be in Australia to get one.  We're sharing the love.

2 copies will be sent to Australian readers
1 copy will go to a New Zealand reader
1 copy to a US reader
1 copy to a UK reader
1 copy to a Canadian reader
1 copy to a South African reader

The copy you receive, no matter where you are in the world, will be the edition with the Australian cover.

To win a copy, you must comment on this post and either be, or else join, the followers of this blog. You score an extra entry for tweeting about the contest, for posting about it on facebook, for mentioning it on your own blog etc. The more you pass word around about the book and the contest, the more entries you have in the competition. Winners will be selected using a random number generator, with one draw per country (and two for the Aussies).

1 entry for being a blog follower
+1 Twitter about this contest
+1 Facebook about this contest
+1 Goodreads mark the book as to-read (or read!)
+3 Blog about this contest

+1,000,000 get Oprah to recommend it.

The contest will run to the 15th January. Blog contests tend to peak quickly, but there are lots of people on hols in the antipodes at the moment, so if entries are still coming in I'll extend it by an extra week.

Please total your point score in the comments below. Put your email address in your comment or else email it to me, so I can contact winners, and please tell me your country!

Penguin is very kindly picking up the postage for the southern hemisphere countries, and St Martin's generously offered  to post out Penguin's edition in the north.  Thank you both!  Since I'm not paying for it, it would be very cool if we could have some entries from totally inaccessible places such as the Flinders Ranges, Death Valley, or an Antarctic base.
