First thing after coming home on Friday, I checked my mail.

Let’s see, what could in be the box that arrived?

The envelope says, “DON’T RUIN YOUR SURPRISE. Open your gift before this envelope.” Curiouser and curiouser.

Nicely gift-wrapped and everything.

Hmm, what could it be now? (Yes, I’ve already read the little card, but I’m not sharing so as to maintain the suspense.)

Shall we take a look inside?

A-ha! There it is! I have been trying to win a copy of The 4-Hour Workweek on JohnChow.com for a couple weeks. Instead, I wound up winning it at Chris Bloczynski dot Com in his first blog contest.

You may remember that his blog was one of the two contenders in my first review. I should have thought of using a photo like he did. Chris won the battle, but, unfortunately for Chris, it was the other Chris that won.

Anyway, I won second place in Chris’ contest–hey, I guess he won second place in my review too!–but since I’ve been wanting to get a copy of the book (preferably free, but I would have bought a copy sooner or later), it’s like winning the first place prize.

Thanks again, Chris!

Be sure to visit his site and read his post: “Post popular articles on high-traffic days.”

And, if you haven’t been fortunate enough to win a copy, you can still buy a copy of The 4-Hour Workweek at a reasonable price.
