Last-Minute Holiday Giveaway! Stress Less: Let US Pick the Book for YOU

In the spirit of last-minute gift-shopping, VANTAGE POINT BOOKS is hosting a quickie giveaway to help you cross off that one last person on your list. Be it for your impossible-to-shop-for crazy aunt, or your office Secret Santa, or maybe just the perfect stocking stuffer for your loved one–you tell us the situation which has you stumped, and our experts will send you a SIGNED copy of the perfect VANTAGE POINT match just in time for Christmas. With authors like Michael Musto, Rexanne Becnel, Seth Rudetsky, and more, any book will be sure to delight!

THE CONTEST

From Monday, Dec 12-Tuesday, Dec 20, 2011, Vantage Point Books will be looking for you to send us descriptions (via Twitter) of the type of person/situation that is leaving you at a loss for gift ideas. For example (in 140 characters or less):

“@pointbooks My friend loves to laugh but takes himself so seriously. Whats the perfect balance of funny & not too frivolous? #help”

How about a signed copy of Trashy Chic: A Bertie Mallowan Mystery by Cathy Lubenski, the murder mystery that T. Jefferson Parker describes as having “a perfect humor-to-heart ratio“?

OR

“@PointBooks All I know about my secret santa is she’s the office gossip, which makes me even more afraid of getting the wrong gift! #help”

Obviously, the best way to get on her good side is to stuff her stocking with a signed copy of Michael Musto’s Fork on the Left, Knife in the Back–just make sure to point out the cover blurb, where Joan Rivers calls him a genius!

We will then chose the winner through a random drawing, and alert them of their perfect book match, just in time for the holidays!
