Going Exploring? Need a travel book for your backpack?  Win one here.

FIVE readers will each win one book for his or her own travel library. The contest is entirely random, but just for fun, I’m asking you to browse through the library and tell me which travel literature, travel essays, travel memoir, or a book that tugs you to a certain place you would choose out of all we talked about–if you had a choice–which, this being a random drawing–you don’t.

What You Can Win

There are five books and I will reveal their names starting Monday, August 3, adding a new one each day that week. (Four have been discussed here and one is a ringer.) Remember, only one entry per person, so you may win just one book.

What You Do

  1. Leave a comment on any post between (Friday, July 31) to the end of the contest (Friday, August 14). (See #2 for content of your comment)
  2. Browse through A Traveler’s Library and pick a book that I have discussed that you would like to win.  Then send me a COMMENT or tweet me a TWEET saying:  “My choice would be (insert name of book here).”
  3. For your own security, we advise against including personal information like address, phone number, birth date, or shoe size.
  4. OR–Tweet me a message addressed to @pen4hire with the same message, but mention A Traveler’s Library in the tweet.

Dates

Friday, July 31 (1:00 a.m. MST) through Friday, August 14 (Midnight MST)

Pesky Stuff You Need to Know

  1. Sorry, but for technical reasons, this is only open to people residing in the United States of America.
  2. You must be at least 18 years old.
  3. Only one entry per person will count.
  4. One winner will be chosen by random drawing each day from Monday, August 17 through Friday, August 21.
  5. For more on A Traveler’s Library Contest Rules, see the page called (duh) Contest Rules.

  2. All the books you discuss look so interesting. I guess my first choice, though, is Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. I’d love to re-read that. Fun contest!!

    Jack Ruby’s Kitchen Sink sounds like a book I need to read. I’m always looking for more Southwestern travel ideas.

  6. Crowded Heart would be my choice. Greece is one of my top 3 destination choices and this looks like a great read.

    Thanks for the contest!
