Giveaway For the Noobs (Contest Closed)

Forgotten Bookmarks received a ton of traffic over the weekend (Thanks, Tumblr!) so I thought I'd welcome all the new readers in style, with a giveaway:



Six books (the darker one is Baudelaire) up for grabs.

Comment to enter, I'll pick a winner at random today at 3:00 PM EST (about 4 hours)

The contest is open to anyone, anywhere. Enter at will.

Good luck!

    "No certainly to the inherent force of the human understanding; for, on any matter not self-evident, there are ninety-nine persons totally incapable of judging it, for one who is capable; and the capacity of the hundredth person is only comparative; for the majority of the eminent men of every past generation held many opinions now known to be erroneous, and did or approved numerous things which no one will now justify."--John Stuart Mill

    I recently started reading your blog :) I always find myself buying second hand books with hand-written inscriptions, so when I found this blog I was fascinated.

    So, I am a noob, but I love books and finding things in books (I work at a library). Plus all the books are authors I LOVE (except Hill, which I have no opinion about)! Also I am trying to expand my Modern Reader collection and I don't have either Mrs. Dalloway or Women in Love.
