Hello all!

In the Holiday Spirit and to show my appreciation for the community, I want to give away 5 books to a few members here on the forum.

EDIT: Signups are now closed :(

If you want a book but can't currently afford it, or you can't get it shipped through Amazon where you currently live or if you simply want a gift from me, please post in this topic or send me a personal message in order to have a chance of winning. A week from today, I will make a live drawing and randomly pick 5 winners.

The winners will be able to pick any book from TFL bookstore. If you are outside of the U.S. or Europe, I will order the book myself and send it over to you no matter where you live.

I made the topic a little early to make sure everyone gets their gift before Christmas.

Happy Holidays!

EDIT: @1step is donating 5 more books so there will now be a total of 10 winners! Thanks 1step!

Great idea man, don't count me.

There are many people here who deserve this.

I'm in. I hate to be that first guy but when you're a financially troubled college student "free is for me" as the saying goes. Thank you for your generosity Emanuel.

I'm in. Definitely in the same boat as Camo, except I recently graduated college and like many other grads, have a good amount of student loans to pay off :-/ Thank you for being awesome @Emanuel! This is very generous of you.

@jpmartin Thanks for the nice list of books. If the winners will want a book from that list, I'd be happy to buy it for them.

@Camo & Gold there have been a few before you who sent me private messages. College can certainly squeeze every single dollar out of you and put you in debt. Best of luck!

@David Smith thanks!

@Nick22 Good luck with the student loans! Hopefully you can get rid of them really quick!

I'll donate 5 books as well. Since it is his thread I would like to allow Emanuel to choose the winners. I will gift the books through Amazon - I am a firm believer in retention through taking notes as you read so I would like to add the stipulation that you take notes on the book (and post them if you think others would find value).

Here's another good site for book recommendations http://sivers.org/book

Great idea @Emanuel

The Derek Sivers list is great... I've been using it as a reference of what to read next for a couple of years!

His own book, which I read, is pretty cool too. It's how he created CDbaby

@Emanuel - great gesture! If you want to add to your collection, there are some great books that I recommend -> I call it the 52 Week Book Challenge - read one book per week, that will change or impact your life in some way.

Great list. I read many of the books on your list and all of them were really good.

In my opinion one book that is missing is: "The Way Of The Superior Man" by David Deida (It's my favorite one by far)

Eleven people either sent me a PM or posted in this topic saying they'd like a book. Rather than doing a live drawing and only picking 10 winners, I will give an extra book so nobody will be left out. If you're one of the 11 listed below, please PM me your address and send me a link to the book you'd like. Five of the books will be purchased by @1step so make sure to thank him for that!

(if I somehow missed your name by accident and you're not on the list, even though you let me know already that you wanted a book, please send me a message)

EDIT: If you would rather get the Kindle version, let me know.

Way to take action everyone. For a multitude of reasons many others saw this off and didn't even make the effort to post but you all made the effort so congrats and I hope you all enjoy your books.

Update: I sent the books so you should see them soon. @DanielTArgueta , E-myth should arrive for your kindle, like NOW. BB in Georgia and @Nick22 , your books should arrive Saturday. KS in Rhode Island and Freed, How to Get Rich is temporarily out of stock, I ordered it but there is no info on when it will come available, it is "shipped and sold by Amazon" so I am sure it will be soon.

Kyle, your book should arrive next wednesday. Which is odd because I ordered the same book within minutes for another person and theirs is supposed to arrive Friday. I don't know your forum name, if you post here or pm me I will update you with any further information.

If anyone hasn't received their book yet, please let me know. International shipping can be slow sometimes.

Grimaldo's account seems to have been deleted for some reason, but hopefully he received his book in Spain.

Thanks again @1step for helping out!

Thank you I did, I told you that in private, but might as well say it here too. Thanks for the generosity. :)
