It’s back… the Better World Books “Year of Books” contest is back and better than ever!

How is it better, you ask?

1.  Well first of all it starts today, whereas last year’s contest is over.

2.  This year there will be 2 grand prize winners compared with only 1 lonely winner last year.  That’s twice the winners!  These lucky ducks will not only get a year of books, but they will also get a snazzy Better World Books t-shirt AND a fabulous Better World Books tote bag.

3.  But wait, there’s more… last year we had 9 second place winners… this year we’re doubling the fun and giving a whopping 18 second prizes which consist of one $10 Better World Books gift certificate, the snazzy BWB shirt and the fab BWB tote.

“Enough,” you may say, “I’m in. Now how the heck do I enter?”   Well this year we’re all about more.  Last year there was only one way to enter… this year there are two:

1. Follow Better World Books on Twitter and then click this link or copy and paste the following message to your Twitter followers to enter: “I just entered the @BWBooks ‘Year of Books’ Contest. I can win a year’s supply of books! (http://bit.ly/bwbyearofbooks) #bwbcontest”

2. Like Better World Books on Facebook and enter the Year of Books Sweepstakes. Fill out the required form and share the contest entry with your friends with the following message: “I just entered the Better World Books ‘Year of Books’ Contest. I can win a year’s supply of books!”  And guess what, for every friend you tell on Facebook that enters, you get an extra entry.

Have questions?  Need more info?  Check out our FAQ and the Terms & Conditions.

What are you still doing here?  Go enter.  The contest starts today – but you only have until the end of June to enter!

Good luck!  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this is your lucky year!  Okay go… go already!

Check out our support over at Twitter here and here.

My favorites:
-Thx for sharing http://www.betterworld.com site..Shipping is great for me here in Pakistan, with amazon shipin is so costly here

-i like this company’s mission anyway, but if you’re out of usa and want lots of books, shipping way cheap: http://www.betterworld.com/

-In place of Amazon every book I link to from my site will be at BetterWorld Books: http://www.betterworld.com/

- Buying books at BetterWorld.com. Free shipping (USA), low prices; each purchase fights illiteracy: http://www.betterworld.com/

-I like using Better World Books- the business concept is just so cool and they are rethinking how a triple bottom line company works

-Donate textbooks to Better World books. Hope my immunology and physiology texts find a good home.
