A great book is essential holiday packing, but what would you take? Would The Beach chill you out, do you prefer to be suave like James Bond or is the uneasy romance of Breakfast at Tiffany’s more your style?

You have to be a UK resident to enter the competition. Good thing that I read the small print! :-)
Marion at 4:19am July 2
Thanks for telling, Konstantinos :) I would have tried to enter otherwise
Konstantinos at 4:37am July 2
You are welcome Marion! Unfortunately, some companies have not adjusted to the "New World". For example, while I shop at Amazon.co.uk for books, I shop at Amazon.fr for all other items because the UK based subsidiary does not mail household items (for example) outside the UK. The French subsidiary does. Goofy? Crazy? Who knows? Best regards, Konstantinos
