Free epub copy of Paolo Bacigalupi's 'WindUp Girl' available from Night shade Books

Via io9.com:

"Thanks to Windup Girl publisher Night Shade Books, people participating in this month's book club can write in to get a free epub file of the novel, which you can read on your computer and most eBook readers. (Fine print: You will be signed up for Night Shade Books' email newsletter when you get the free ebook - you can unsubscribe later if you don't like it.)"

More details here.

Windup Girl has been included on many "best books of 2009" lists, including Time magazine. If you'd rather pay for a copy in multiple formats, you can get it for $6 at webscriptions.com.

Nice...I recently put this on my short list of books to check out. A free copy makes it even better!

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?

No it's an autoresponder so even a blank email should trigger a reply.

Do you have a spam filter? Checked your spam folder?

Either that or try a different email address.

I ended up using a different address. For whatever reason, my main one didn't work.
