Description

Happy April, everyone!

Lately I've been rereading and thinking about Richard's Adams' 1974 classic, Watership Down--and ultimately hoping to encourage other readers to experience this fantastic book!

I thought it would be fun to offer up the chance to win two copies of the novel for FREE. That's right--you pay nothing. I will purchase two brand new, hardcover copies of the book, and if you win I'll mail it to you at no cost.

The two versions available are:

  1. a nice hardcover of the book ($24 value)
  2. the graphic novel, also hardcover, adapted/illustrated by James Sturn and Joe Sutphin ($22 value).

Enter here on KingSumo, and on May 1, 2025, I'll have the system randomly pick two winners from all entrants. Oh, and feel free to pass this along to friends, whether they're on Substack or not!

Let's have some fun--and encourage reading this classic!

Please keep in mind...

  • Anyone can enter--just add your email.
  • For a bonus chance to win, go to The Reading Room and comment on my post, Your Next Read: Watership Down
  • I will email the winners on May 1 or so, congratulating you and asking for your mailing address. If no reply is received in three days, though, I'll choose a new winner.
  • I will randomly offer one of the two winners their choice between the novel and graphic novel editions; the second winner will receive the unpicked edition.
  • International friends: I can afford shipping to Canada and Mexico. If I can, I'll also ship to other USPS-serviced countries. However, if the cost exceeds $15 or so...I'll probably not be able to honor that. (I'm just a guy sharing a love of books--not a company with infinite pockets. Thanks for understanding!)
  • Note that my friends and relatives (other than my immediate, nuclear family) can enter as well, and they have equal chance of winning. (Just being upfront--so not one thinks I'm "cheating" :)
  • Finally, I'd love you to subscribe to The Reading Room, so we can connect and talk about reading and writing! I may email all entrants an invite to do so. I hope that's ok!
