We will randomly select a winner among the correct answers in the first week of 2025. We will contact the winner before januari 7th via the emailaddress you use for your account.

Terms and conditions

Participating in this giveaway implies acceptance of the general terms and conditions. You can review those right here.

A few highlights:

- the winner is expected to pick up the prize in The English Bookstore. We cannot send the 50 books to your address - not even if you offer to pay shipping.

- we take a photo of the winner and their prize during pick up, to post on social media.

- the winner will receive an e-mail in the first week of January

- if the winner is unable to reply within 5 days, the offer expires and we will pick a new winner

- the prize is a random selection by us of 50 books. In other words: you can't choose fifty books yourself.
