@CoteDAzur

I would be very interested to read it but fell out of the habit of reading paper books a long time ago.

Any chance that MN might give out digital vouchers for free Kindle copies of this book?

Hi there, apologies for taking a while to get back. We have tried running e-book giveaways in the past but the mechanism was quite complicated and there were quite a few issues. We did some research last year and it seemed that most people who read on e-readers are still happy to read paper books and so we decided to stick to non-digital for the time being.

Although we won't be able to set anything up for this particular book, it is something we will revisit next year and pick up with publishers to see if there's an easier method to offer this in the future. If anyone else has any thoughts on this, please do share.

Thanks so much for the feedback and it's great to hear so many of you have found this such an interesting and helpful book. We're closing the giveaway today and will send over the questions for Marc Lewis and post them up next week when we get the answers back.
