Giveaway - The Bible Salesman



Little Brown has just published the trade paperback of The Bible Salesman, and has made 5 copies available to me for giveaway.  Don't you love the chance to get a free book to enjoy?  I haven't read it yet, but have seen several reviews that speak positively about it.  Here's the publisher's description:

Preston Clearwater has been a criminal since stealing two chain saws and 1,600 pairs of aviator sunglasses from the army during the Second World War. Back on the road in postwar North Carolina, now a member of a car-theft ring, he picks up hitchhiking Henry Dampier, an innocent twenty-year-old Bible salesman. Clearwater immediately recognizes Henry as smart but gullible, just the associate he needs--one who will believe Clearwater is working undercover for the F.B.I.; one who will drive the cars Clearwater steals as Clearwater follows along in his own car at a safe distance. Henry joyfully sees a chance to lead a dual life as a Bible salesman and a G-man.


During his hilarious and scary adventures, Henry grapples with doubts about the Bible's accuracy, and we learn of his fundamentalist upbringing, an upbringing that doesn't prepared him for his new life. As he falls in love with the captivating Marleen Green and questions his religious training, Henry begins to see he's being used--that he is on his own in a way he never imagined.

So now for the rules,,,I'm keeping this one simple too

3. Entries by Oct 20th, I'll draw at 12:01 Oct 21, and must have a reply by Oct 23, or next person gets drawn.

AGAIN ===Please only one entry....I'll assign the extra points from your entry....just follow the rules.

Now sit back and keep your fingers crossed....

Welcome, thanks for stopping by. Now that you've heard our two cents, perhaps you have a few pennies to throw into the discussion. Due to a bunch more anonymous spam getting through, I've had to disallow anonymous comments. I try to respond to all comments posing a question, but may not always get to you right away.
