Wow, excellent giveaway thanks.
Paolo Bacigalupi is a fantastic writer, love his short stuff and had been meaning to buy this. You can grab an extra two stories set in the same world here. He's definitly going to snag a Hugo for something soon. |

How long should it take to receive the book (or confirmation email)? I sent in my request yesterday, but haven't heard back...

I sent one an hour or so ago - nothing yet.
Was there anything specific we should have put in the body of the email? |
