Hatchette Book Group Giveaway - CONTEST CLOSED



WINNER TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!!!!!




Hatchette Books is generously sponsoring another book giveaway. This one is for a copy of THE AMERICAN JOURNEY OF BARACK OBAMA by The Editors of LIFE Magazine.

The American Journey of Barack Obama covers the candidate from his childhood and adolescence to his time as editor of The Harvard Law Review and his Chicago activist years, culminating with the excitement and fervor of the historic 2008 Democratic National Convention. The unfolding drama of Obama's life and political career is cinematic in scope, and never has it been presented so compellingly.

In addition to a powerful array of photographs that were taken by many of the country's greatest photographers (and some that were snapped, in the quiet moments, by Obama family members themselves), this book also includes a Foreword by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, an incisive narrative biography and original essays by some of our finest writers, including Gay Talese, Charles Johnson, Melissa Fay Greene, Andrei Codrescu, Fay Weldon, Richard Norton Smith, Bob Greene and several others. Many readers will find a new understanding of Obama. All readers will feel that they are bearing witness to a singular, undeniably American story.

If you want to win a copy of this book for yourself, here's what you have to do....

1) Comment here that you want to be entered.

2) Leave your email address in your comment (I need a way to contact you!)

3) US and Canada residents only, no P.O. boxes.

The contest will end on November 13th. The book will be mailed out by Hatchette Books directly to the winner! Good Luck!
