Thanks for a great competition

. I wouldn't mind winning something, but the searching was so great, I would be satisfied with a price of something silly the next competition.
The title wasn't very obvious to me, i'm not a native english speaker but after searching in google for famous books, I think I finally found it.

I'm guessing that the mods will now have us hunt for the DRM key we'll need to decode them....

Really stellar competition. Thanks and congrats to Ravenne and all the others who were doubtless involved.

Good luck to all that enter!

I'm going crazy here. Where IS the last letter?
I'm missing something obvious, ain't I?
I think I've had enough otters and llamas for a lifetime.

I see where you went wrong - it's not an L it's a U (but I agree, the image for that day was a bit fuzzy and hard to read)

Have sent in my entry!

Nah, I love llamas and otters

And I finally found the last letter with a little help from a friend.

Very important: if you're in the right direction but don't know it, you just may give up a little too soon.

Thanks mobileread for the great competition! I had lots of fun these last few days because of it!

So, may the best (er, luckiest) man (woman, llama, etc) win!

Good luck to all!

Perhaps, but I thought the clue was quite stellar.

Well, I found the last letter, but it wasn't what I hoped! I had already sent in my title which matched the previous 10. Oh well. Still a fun competition. Thanks all!

Thanks for the contest! Was really great, I hope that the future contest will be similar, it was much more fun than the usual "post a comment to enter into draw" contest

now I just have to send the book title

Now I'm worried about my guess! Not that it matters since I can't change it but would still like to know what that last letter is just to my mind to rest.

Me, too. I've been busy with real life and didn't get to look as much as I wanted today, so I sent my answer in (which came to me while doing something else last night

)

I'm interested in what title you sent it. You found an 11 letter book title that used all the letters except the last one, and one other letter that hadn't been provided?

Let us know the title after the entry deadline.

Perhaps we can come up with some type of runner up kudos for people that identified an 11 letter title with the first 10 letters.

If anyone can come up with a book title out of Godzil's letters then they deserve something too.
