Win a Signed first edition of 1Q84!

I don't actually own 1Q84 yet (although I want it and am envious of my sister who has the limited edition versions all three!) but if you're a Haruki Murakami fan this competition might just be the one for you! :) Bluestone Books are giving away 10 signed first editions of 1Q84!



To enter you need to send a "Top Ten List" inspired by Murakami's writing which they will then post on their website!

Additional information from the Bluestone Website is as follows:

Sample ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

  • 10 jazz pieces you could actually listen to while running
  • 10 writers that Murakami has not translated (but we wish he would)
  • 10 film actors who would be great at playing Murakami characters
  • 10 best cat names inspired by Murakami novels 

Ten winners will be selected based on creativity, and the level to which we’re jealous we didn’t think of the idea ourselves. Each winner will receive a a signed first edition of 1Q84, published by Knopf. 
(We don’t have to tell you the lengths a Murakami fan will go to for a signed book. When the galleys arrived, we were so nervous about them disappearing, we hid them where we thought no one would look: behind a 1961 etiquette guide.) 
Please note: we promise not to collect any of your customers’ e-mail addresses for our own random-ish promotional purposes. 
You can send your submissions to us at bluestone@randomhouse.com.  The deadline is November 22nd and the fine print is here.

Since I know nothing of Haruki Murakami this competition is one I'll be sitting out, but it seems like something fun for anyone who is a real fan! ^^ Good Luck! :)
