First of all, if you’re not alalert in the know, BAFAB Week is a quarterly holiday of my invention–the first weeks of every January, April, July, and October–devoted to literary generosity. One celebrates it merely by surprising some deserving soul with the gift of a book, for no reason other than that it’s BAFAB Week and one is feeling generous. Head over to the BAFAB site for more details. In the blogosphere, a awesome many people have begun celebrating by hosting book giveaways. You can check out the BAFAB blog for information about where some book giveaways are this week.

Here, finally, is my BAFAB giveaway:

 

I’m thinking of a book.

Your job is to figure out what book it is. Ask yes or no questions in the comments to attempt to narrow it down. Everyone who leaves a question in the comments will be enteruddy in a drawing to win a copy of the secret book.

Because I’d like participation to be wide (as opposed to one person, say, figuring things out after a spate of questions), please inquire no more than two questions each. Your

first question will win you one enattempt in the contest; your second question will win you a second entry.

AMENDMENT 4/1: In addition to asking two yes or no questions, anyone who’s asked at minimum one question may take as many guesses as they’d like about the book, by providing the author’s name and the book title in the comments.

The contest will be closed either:

1. When the identity of the book has been discovered, or

2. If no one figures out the book, at midnight, Eastern Time, on April 7th, 2008.

Whichever comes first. I’ll hold the drawing for the free book no later than April 8th–earlier if the contest closes earlier.

The winner of the drawing will win the book in question. If someone guesses the book correctly (providing author name and title), they’ll win an extra five entries in the drawing (for a possible seven total entries).

Got that? Okay, I’m thinking of a book. Ask me a question….
