Leading European Internet bookseller BOL is giving
away a selection of books between 3.30 and 5.30 pm
on Wednesday, August 4, to mark its six-month
anniversary.


Customers will get a choice of five bestsellers and
will be able to obtain a book, one per mailing
address, without incurring any packing charges or
other obligations, says BOL.


“Following our tremendously successful summer promotions
with Hannibal and Harry Potter, we are pleased to present
another excellent offer to our customers, thanking them
for helping us become so successful in such a short period
of time,” said Alexander Broich, managing director for
BOL in the UK.


“This is the first stage of our dramatic campaign to keep
offering BOL customers the best books at great prices.”


The choice of bestsellers consists of Patricia Cornwell’s
“Point of Origin,” Alex Garland’s “The Tesseract,” Nick
Leeson’s “Rogue Trader,” Chris Stewart’s “Driving over
Lemons,” and Shawn Levy’s “Rack Pack Confidential.”


BOL will send out 20,000 books on a first-come, first-serve
basis. Books have to be ordered through a special
check-out, and anyone placing an order via the normal
route will be charged full price.
