Friday Giveaway: Alice Eliot - contest closed



I couldn't choose one book to offer today, so I picked two. That means there will be two winners this week.

First book is "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through The Looking Glass" by Lewis Carroll. It's a lovely collector's edition bound in red leather with gilt edges. It's from Longmeadow Press, 1985.

The second book is T.S. Eliot's "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." It's a later printing of the first edition from 1939.

Contest now closed, winners announced shortly.

    Wow - these are both very, very cool. I would love to win the T.S. Eliot, though!

    Thanks for the chance. :)

    You give away some of the best books! I have no preference, as I love both the story and the poetry.

    What a wonderful giveaway! It'll be nice to have each of these books, but maybe my preference declines to "
    Alice..."! Many years ago I played her role in a school performance (in English!!):)I like Caroll's style!

    I also would love the one with the cats, but I have never read Alice on the other hand, so that might be a good reason to finally do that :)
    Thanks for the giveaway!

    I'd love to win either one. I already have a version of the Eliot, so should I win that one I'm going to need Josh Kellogg's address. My husband and I will celebrate 25 years this summer and I'd love to help sprinkle a little love on a young relationship. :^ )
