Competition time! Win a copy of this book
Please note – this competition is now closed and the winners have been announced.
I’ve got some promotional copies of my beginners web development book (Build Your Own Web Site the Right Way with HTML & CSS) that I’m just itching to give away to people who can guarantee them some good homes. How can you win a copy? Well, there are five copies to giveaway (shared between this site and accessify.com). All I need from you is an email, which should be sent to iknowsomeonewhowouldreallyloveacopyofyourbook@accessify.com (you might want to copy that) with the most cheesy/over-the-top/unbelievable/inventive piece of creative begging that you can think of. Don’t let facts get in the way of a creative begging letter – be creative! In fact, just go for the kind of thing that people do when begging for items on Freecycle.
The closing date for this is Friday 23rd January (0900 GMT) – after this point the email address above will no longer be active. I’ll pick five winners soon after (as long as it takes me to read them all – 80 and counting so far!) and contact directly to arrange a shipping address. Good luck.

Hello Ian,
I tried to enter your generous giveaway, but the email address doesn’t seem to be live. I keep getting an email return.
Eager contestant,
Nadine.
