The Princess Bride Book!

Time for another giveaway! This time it is the gorgeous and deluxe edition of The Princess Bride! You love the movie, now you can super love the book!

THE PRINCESS BRIDE DELUXE EDITION, with its aged page treatment and embossed cover; the 50 full page color illustrations by Michael Manomivibul, vividly illustrated chapter openers and gorgeous, colorful Florin-Guilder map endpapers make this edition truly special for super fans--especially the misguided ones who have only seen the movie. Remember, the book is always better – it’s an unavoidable truism, just like ‘Never get involved in a land war in Asia,’ or ‘Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line.’

Just reply to this Patreon post, or the one over on the SuperFan Forums, to enter. If you're not one of our Patrons or SuperFans, send us a postcard with your info on it to enter. (Geek Culture, Box 77 Union Bay, British Columbia, Canada, V0R 3B0)

In two weeks, I'll launch a random number generator to pick a winner. Good luck!
