Win a year's worth of speculative fiction books!

With the huge amount of books I receive every month, I'm running out of space to store them in my apartment. So spring cleaning means that I need to make room for what I wish to keep in my permanent collection and what's likely to come my way during the rest of the year. As I did a few years back, I'm giving away a prize pack of more than fifty SFF titles.

The Catch: Read this: Before your mouth waters at the thought of winning all those books, please bear in mind that I can't pay for postage. If you don't live in the Greater Montreal Area or if you don't live within driving distance, you'd have to pay for the shipping charges. So do the math, for I can't afford to pay for shipping. If you live in Australia, it will likely cost you a couple of hundreds of dollars. . . Please understand this before registering.

The prize pack includes recent and not-so-recent titles, as well as books that are not even out yet. I tried to come up with a good mix of genres and sub-genres.

This should keep whoever wins out of trouble for a little while. . .:P As was the case the last time we did this, more surprise titles will be added to the mix as I receive them between now and the random draw which will select the winner.
