The “I’m still in a hole hearting my editor” FIRST BLOOD contest!

 

first blood coverI wasn’t the one who nominated this book :-D And I’m still in a hole trying to get another book to her, so why not give a few copies away? I have three (or four, if you count the one that I messed up on trying to sign, scribbled out my messed-up signature, and then wrote “effed up” on the front cover with a silver Sharpie) copies of FIRST BLOOD left in my collection — what do I need them for, right? 

The rules are the same as the last contest (which is still ongoing, by the way.) Just leave a comment, and you’re entered. If you don’t mind getting an effed up copy, note that in your comment, and I’ll give away four copies instead of three. It ends whenever I come out of my hole.

OMG! hypothetically if I were to say win…hypothetically could I claim the “effed up” one? i collect those types of things! I have 3 or 4 books now that have printing issues on the cover…not that this is the same thing, but you know what I mean!
Congrats by the way :D
that is so awesome!

I think there’s a fight on for the effed up copy. I wouldn’t mind that one at all. But if I had to, I mean absolutely HAD to, I could see being ok with a non-effed up copy. If I win, could you maybe eff one up for me?
