You should buy a book. You don’t even have to compete to do so. Simply complete and mail this form with $14 CDN ($12 for book + $2 shipping) in the form of cheque or cash to:

PEMBERTON-TEMPLETON 48-HOUR NOVELLA-WRITING CONTEST
1709 COTTON DRIVE
VANCOUVER, BC V5N 3V1
CANADA

The book will probably be ready by December, and shipped to you then.

Previous books of winners, Joke Time and Hasty Market (Vancouver, BC: Pemberton-Templeton, 2004), have sold out. Copies of each, however, are held at the Library of Canada in Ottawa, one of which is available to order by Inter-Library Loan.

PS. The price is $16 US if you're from the Nifty Fifty.
