Giveaway: Rules of Civility

Summary: This sophisticated and entertaining first novel presents the story of a young woman whose life is on the brink of transformation. On the last night of 1937, twenty-five-year-old Katey Kontent is in a second-rate Greenwich Village jazz bar when Tinker Grey, a handsome banker, happens to sit down at the neighboring table. This chance encounter and its startling consequences propel Katey on a year-long journey into the upper echelons of New York society—where she will have little to rely upon other than a bracing wit and her own brand of cool nerve. With its sparkling depiction of New York’s social strata, its intricate imagery and themes, and its immensely appealing characters, Rules of Civility won the hearts of readers and critics alike. -- Penguin

Last year, I couldn't stop raving about the debut novel RULES OF CIVILITY by Amor Towles. It really is a beautiful story and perfect for book clubs -- you can read my review here. Time sure does fly because it's already time for the paperback release of this wonderful novel.

To celebrate the paperback release of RULES OF CIVILITY, the publisher has a fun contest taking place on Facebook:

Two (2) grand prize winners will receive this marvelous basket of goodies valued at $500 along with one copy of the new paperback edition of RULES OF CIVILITY. The gift set includes two Tiffany “art deco” martini glasses, a cocktail shaker, a beautiful women’s broach and men’s pocket watch, Tiffany playing cards, three of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Penguin Classics hardcovers, a selection of great music from the 1930s, and more.

Twenty-five (25) runners up will each receive one copy of the new paperback edition of Rules of Civility.

Enter by Tuesday, July 3, 2012, for your chance to win!

I have been wanting to read this one ... and no, I don't have a copy.

I've been wanting to read this one. Almost bought it in the airport the other day, but I grabbed the Tom Perretta book instead.
