To celebrate World Books Day I’m having a books giveaway. I’m offering five copies of Jacob’s Ladder: The History of the Human Genome, on a first-come, first-served basis, completely free to readers of this blog who append comments the most quickliest. There are just two catches (or, perhaps, not).
The first is that Jacob’s Ladder was written by me. I can promise unicycles, but I can’t remember if there are any giraffes.
The second is that these are versions in translation. One of the copies is in Spanish, the other four in Italian.
Well, it’s meant to be World book day, after all.
I’ve written a Nautilus post to alert any of its readers to your generous offer, Henry.
No takers?
I’d love one.
Spanish or Italian, Richard?
I think… Italian, actually, please.
Just for the weirdness value.
send me your address offline…
Henry – I could offer a swap with something in Chinese, Romanian, Polish, Russian, Thai, Arabic, Japanese or Portuguese… but as I don’t read either Spanish or Italian I think it would be a waste of postage.
However if anyone is interested in books (mostly on business/creativity) in the above languages, drop me an email!
I would love to read a Spanish version of your book, Henry!
Cesar – do send me your contact details offline
(h [dot] gee [at] nature [dot] com) and I’ll put it in the mail, with pleasure.
