Little Red Lies arrived in Jacksonville, FL today from Tundra Books in a padded mailer, with some extra marks from the post office. But the packaging wasn't from Tundra, so I didn't realize that's what it was.

No inclusions. The book looks to be the final hardcopy.

I just received my August win, and can't wait to start listening. I'd forgotten that it is an audio book, but that will work just great for me. I love print, audio, and e-books. Not an uncommon attitude on this website.

I originally did not receive the book, but sent an e-mail to the address RaucousRain listed. I received a fairly quick reply from Chronicle Book's publicity coordinator, and the book arrived in my mailbox a few days later.

I got tired of waiting for my copy of If Kennedy Lived from the August batch so I emailed Putnam/Penguin. Got an email response in about a half hour and the book arrived in my mailbox 3 days later.

85> Good for you! I wish they would respond to me. I have emailed twice and received no response. It has been about 2 weeks. You are the second person I've seen post they received a reply promptly.

#86 Good luck. I found the email address on the Putnam/Penguin website under "media/advance copies." It looked like my email got shuttled around to a few different people. She said that they sent out a copy to me earlier but would be glad to re-send it.

Hello, I was just checking my list of books and I realized that I never received the copy of The Clockwork Scarab: A Stoker & Holmes Novel by Colleen Gleason that I won back in August. Is there anyone who can advise me on this, or should I give up on it. I've currently got the book marked as not received.

I'm going to cross-post this to the Unreceived Books, Part 4 group as well.

Thanks for any help,

Jocelyn

Clockwork Scarab had an issue with being listed for a larger number of copies than were actually available. I talked to the publisher recently, and they're working on getting copies to everyone. I'll message all the winners of this one once I have a more complete/useful update.
