Hello Dear Reader
Having a Blog has finally paid off – Last week I like a few other, Nick from Nicks Ramblings to Name one, received an e-mail from Random House Childrens Books asking if I would be willing to review and promote their new book “A Complete Guide To Scouting Skills”
My initial thoughts were this is a scam, I am going to e-mail them back at which point they are going to remove all the money from my bank account and steal all my passwords and leave my destitute. I am not sure how I believed they were going to do this, if I did not give them any details but the power of the Internet is strong.
After a small amount of research I discovered that Random House is a large reputable publishing house and the book is endorsed by the Scout Association and featured in this month Scouting Magazine as a prize in the photo competition on Page 74-75 for details www.scouts.org.uk/competitions
I have agreed to conduct a review of the book which I will publish here in due course but initially, Nick has found an extract from the book here
And below is the press release from Random House Childrens Books,

I am also hoping to work with Random House Childrens Books to create, the first and possibly only Jabbering All Day Long Competition in which the prize will be a copy of the Book
I will keep you posted and keep a watchful eye for the book review.
TTFN

I haven’t had chance to read my copy yet but I’ll be doing a feature on it soon too.
I’ve just had a quick look at it and it seems quite cool. Can’t wait til I can try “Campfire Sausage Rolls” on camp!!
Yeah, I was initially a little dubious, but I checked the IP address and it came back legit!
So now I have my own copy and I will also be doing a review soon!
I have been informed that my copy is in the post, hopefully I will get it when I get home this weekend.
Did you manage to wangle a free copy via the woggleknot Adam

Yeah. I'm writing a post on it right now. It's a great book!
