It's Winner Time

Sorry for the delay, folks. I had actual work to do. Imagine that.

To make up for it, I'll be selecting three winners. I'll try and get in touch with you if I can find contact information, but if you don't hear from me, please email me at fb@forgottenbookmarks to arrange shipping.

OK, let's start with third place, which is a lovely two volume set of "Anna Karenina" in slipcase with fancy onion skin jackets.

Third Place Winner: Julie (Okami) - who entered on the site. Here's a pic of your prize:

Not too shabby.

Second Place is a fine matched set of four volumes, "Les Miserables" by Hugo, Shakespeare's Works, "War and Peace" by Tolstoy, and Thomas Carlyle's Works.

Second Place Winner: Laura Horst, who entered via Facebook.

Finally, first place. Obviously, the prize will include the four books already featured on our contest page ("The Pathfinder," "The Pioneers," and the Emerson and Dumas Modern Library editions). In addition, I'm going to throw in an 1859 first edition of Tennyson's "Idyls of the King." Here it is, it's a beauty:



Ok, the winner of the last contest of 2009 is:

Martha, who entered via the website.

There are your winners.
Now that we've got that business taken care of, I just wanted to take a few moments to thank every one who enters the contests, comments on the posts and on Facebook, chats on Twitter... sincerely, thanks for making all of this so much fun. I hope to run bigger and better contests next year, so please keep an eye on the site. I'll still be posting regularly, but if I don't talk to you along the way, have a fantastic holiday.
