Bentley | 44291 comments Mod
Thomas, we would love to have you join us of course. However - you have to agree to the t's and c's and state that on this thread in your post - that is step 1. Agreeing to the t's and c's means the following - read, post, discuss the book on the weekly threads and keep to the syllabus - and write a brief review and post it on the Book as a Whole thread.

Step 2 - you have to send me your full name, full address and zip via PM.

So just go back and edit post 109 stating that you agree to the t's and c's (if in fact you do) and then send me a PM with your particulars.

Sure Lewis - but just please edit message 112 and take out your personal information and send it to me via PM - I need the PM because I also do not have the time to scroll through the thread.

Additionally I will have a PM dedicated to you when I put the final list together. The PM is step two. You have successfully completed Step 1.


Update: You are the best Lewis - both steps are completed and your name is thrown into the hat.

Paul or should I say Brad - I have sent you a friend invite - accept it and then send me back your particulars (full name and full address and zip). That is step two.

Interesting that your husband already read the book - maybe he could join in on the discussion with you when the author joins in.

It should be an interesting discussion.

Lacey we keep the offer open usually for a week or so. You just have to be patient - we like to give everybody an opportunity but I will be beginning to put this together sooner than you think (smile).

Bentley | 44291 comments Mod
Rachel you have completed Step One for the free book offer. However, you have not completed Step Two - you must send Bentley the mailing particulars - full name, full address and zip. Do not post the above on this thread - send it to Bentley via PM.

Once we receive the above - then your name will be thrown into the hat.

Regards,

Bentley

That is great Sherry - we would love to have you - we will be sending out the event notification today later - I had to wait to see when the books would be in for delivery before confirming the start date. Things look good. But the book is of course out there already for everybody else.

Jill Hutchinson (bucs1960) Thanks, Bentley. I will advise you when the book arrives. And as you know, I am usually the last to get mine!!! :0)

Sherry (directorsherry) | 129 comments Thanks! I've been talking about this subject since we read the Woodrow Wilson biography and his run for president against a split republican party. It will be fun to read about it in detail. History could be about to repeat itself! Too bad most people don't even know their own history!
