John Fiennes
and "whether" in line 7 !
écrit par FiennesJohn à 9:22 pm (EST) le Jun 19, 2013
I'm a new chum here on Librarything (and aged 79) and am a slow learner! A couple of months ago I offered members ten eBook copies of my recently published "The Good Buy: a Memoir" by John Fiennes. Your office in due course notified me of the "winners" and on 19-20 May I arranged with Amazon for the ten copies to be sent to the ten members. Amazon's automated reply said that the copies would normally be despatched within five minutes of receipt of my payment.
I am wondering whther the copies were received. I did ask for a Review, preferably on Amazon, but so far none has appeared on Amazon and I can't find any on the LT site either. Is there a special place where I could look for other people's reviews on this site? i.e. if any of my "lucky ten" write a review and post it on LT rather than on Amazon, where would it go?? As the author I am very keen to get some feedback on my effort!

I'm still seeing my ebook, "Finding Nina," in the member giveaway section for July 6th, after being told it would be removed. I posted this a second time by mistake, after posting it for the June 15th deadline. Can I please have it removed?
Regards,
Stephen Hazlett

Hi there! If you're about to leave me a comment telling me that your Early Reviewer book hasn't arrived, please be aware that the best thing to do is simply to mark the book "unreceived" on the Books You've Won page - http://www.librarything.com/er_winnings.php?program=earlyreview. I follow up with publishers based only on those reports (because I get way too many others to try and keep track of them all in any other way). :-) If it hasn't yet been 60 days and you can't mark it unreceived yet, please be patient; the book is probably on its way (and if it still hasn't arrived in 60 days, you'll be able to mark it unreceived). Yes, sometimes it does take up to eight weeks for books to arrive (and no, I don't have tracking information for the books; the publishers mail them directly to you). In the meantime, no, the lack of a review is not counting against you.
For Member Giveaways, there is not a way to mark books unreceived. The lack of a review there does not count against you, so if it doesn't come after a while, you can contact the member responsible for the giveaway directly (their contact information is in the profile comment informing you that you won the book). If a Member Giveaway book doesn't arrive, we're sorry, but please don't sweat it.
Thanks!
Jeremy
