last call: you want a pile o' books, or not?
I'm going to stop accepting entries on Monday, September 25.
We've got almost fifty people interested in one or the other of the piles o' books. Haven't put your name in the hat yet? Head over to the forum.
All you have to do: tell us about the one book you would save from extinction. Just one book. All books are disappearing from the world, but your job is to pick one and to memorize it for posterity, and the day it becomes legal to write things down again. For this exercise, you should pretend you have an excellent memory. You have to tell me which book and why you chose it, in a few sentences. If you win, you get to pick which pile o' books you want.
Once again: I'm going to stop accepting entries on Monday, September 25.
On that same day, I'll start another one right here on the weblog. That winner will get the second pile o' books.
So go forth and save a book from the firemen. Do it right here. The only restrictions: you can't pick something I wrote, and you can't pick a book that has already been chosen. A few people have made that error and need to go back in to change their entries. I've marked those cases directly.
