OT: Book Giveaway
 
I made this offer a few weeks ago and I ended up sending half a dozen free books to members. Can send about 3 more now, so again: I'll send free copy of my new book "The Tunnels" from Crown, optioned for a movie with Paul Greengrass directing, to first three who respond (and will ACTUALLY read it, or at least start it, and maybe recommend to others). Probably the only baseball reference in the book: On the afternoon the Berlin Wall started going up, a Sunday, Secretary of State Dean Rusk (under orders from JFK) cautioned U.S. officials to not promise to do anything about it, as we were ambivalent about whether this was such a bad thing--then left for a Washington Senators game. Here's more on the book:

If you decide to give away more than 1, count me in! This sounds great - and is a story I've never heard of before.

GregMitch34 03-28-2017 04:58 PM

Yes, we had a quick winner, and thanks to all who took a peek. I may do this again. If you didn't win, I have to say that the book is still on sale at Amazon this week, but not sure for how long..... thanks. GM

count me in!!!

GregMitch34 03-29-2017 07:43 PM

If anyone else is interested, just say so--there's a chance (no promise) that more books will be available. If so, I will contact you, from the top down....I've already awarded 4 books here.... thanks. Of course, you are free to purchase one on your own! GM

BleedinBlue 03-29-2017 07:51 PM

I'm in if you have a copy available
 
Sounds like a great read. I'd like to have a copy.

Rich Klein 03-30-2017 05:31 AM

I still play around with signed books so if you get more and sign them, I'm in

Stampsfan 03-30-2017 04:29 PM

Greg, I'm in. I am someone who loves this genre, and (a Canadian) who also read the "9/11 Commission Report". I'm willing to purchase (with shipping) a signed copy, if you would be so kind as to send one.

Thanks...
Bob

Ditto - mine arrived Friday. Very eager to read.

Big Ben 04-02-2017 10:48 AM

I got my book on Friday as well. It is a very interesting read. Since cycling is another hobby of mine, I love how Harry Seidel is mentioned in your book. Just further proof that cyclists are determined, stubborn, opinionated, with a little bit craziness thrown into the mix. 🚵😎
I think this book would make for an interesting movie.

Thanks again. 🙂

GregMitch34 04-05-2017 10:01 PM

Thanks for the comments and hope you enjoy. I have now awarded 4 free books and will make it five. Maybe more down the line. Thanks for your interest.

Enfuego 04-11-2017 08:26 PM

I just got my copy, I love the book cover, can't wait to start reading it! Thank you!

Brian

GregMitch34 05-29-2017 02:45 PM

OK, Brian, you got #2.

pherbener 05-29-2017 02:52 PM

Greg,

PM sent!

GregMitch34 05-29-2017 02:57 PM

Ok, that's #3 for now. Of course, feel free to order yourself--book is on sale at 60% off this week....

GregMitch34 05-29-2017 07:33 PM

Will do 4, so one more available.

drmondobueno 05-29-2017 09:46 PM

Very much interested!

GregMitch34 05-30-2017 06:17 AM

Keith-- You have to PM me with address....

brianp-beme 05-31-2017 07:36 PM

Thanks!
 
All of two days and book already received...thanks Greg! I am currently reading a novel with a backdrop of the Bay of Pigs invasion and JFK assassination, so this book (which jumped next in my reading line) should continue the Cold War atmosphere in my brainpan.

Brian

bnorth 06-01-2017 06:03 PM

Received mine today.:) Thank you Greg!

bnorth 06-16-2017 08:00 PM

Bumping this thread to thank Greg for the free copy of his book again.

I have not finished it yet, I am about half way now. It is a very good book and well worth purchasing.

GregMitch34 06-16-2017 08:16 PM

thank you
