This contest is now closed. Thanks for the participation!
It has been a long time since the last contest.
This giveaway is made possible by readers — You! — who bought books through the Amazon links on my blog. I've finally saved enough to organize two this month. Don't miss both!
Guidelines
- You'll need a delicious.com account, or sign up for a free one.
- Bookmark* Parka Blogs homepage on delicious.com using this link.
- Tag your bookmark with these keywords:
animation illustration concept art books artbooks - Choose one art book as your prize from the list of eleven below.
- One winner will be chosen randomly.
- The deadline for this giveaway is midnight (GMT time) of 16th June 2009.
- Make sure that you fill your e-mail in the comment field correctly so that I can contact you afterward.
- This giveaway is only for USA participants currently.
*If you've already bookmarked my blog before this giveaway, just post your delicious.com account name together with your selected art book in the comment.
Other notes
In case you don't know, delicious.com is a online bookmarking website. It's a great place to find interesting websites (hopefully mine) bookmarked by other people. I use it all the time, especially useful in the office when trying to access websites I bookmarked at home.
Currently, 34 people have bookmarked Parka Blogs. On the deadline, I'll do some math to see if all the bookmarks add up. If they don't, I'll have to rollover the art books to the next giveaway. So don't comment without bookmarking, it won't work.
Giveaways in the future will open to readers from other countries. It's just that I want to spend it on the books than on shipping with my limited funds this month.
It will also help tremendously if you promote this giveaway on your blog, or even link to my blog from your sidebar. After all, this giveaway is made possible by readers and supporters. Thanks very much if you do so!
Good luck!
Art Books You Can Win
Just choose from this list any art books you want as your prize. They all come with reviews so you can see which one you like.
You'll be getting new books, not those (my collection) in the picture above.

Thanks Markus!
Next month I'll be able to extend the giveaway to Canada and Germany readers. In August, to areas served by Amazon UK. And hopefully after that, to readers from the rest of the world.

Oh, I don't live in US. Maybe next time...
Parka, I often buy books that you review here, but I usually don't buy straight away. I click on your Amazon link and save it on my wishlist for later. Am I helping you doing this or would be better if I only click on your link when I'm finishing the buying?
Thanks for the new bookmarks,

Alex - I think it works only if you click the links on the same day you buy the books. Thanks for the support.

Hi Gis, I'll count you in as well since you're handling the shipping yourself. =)
