Thank you very much for your feedback! To thank you for your input, all respondents will receive a complimentary copy of one of these four recent titles from our sister company, Penguin. Please select only one:

1. Lynn Truss, Eats, Shoots & Leaves

This bestseller asks us in its witty, urbane way to become punctuation vigilantes. Correct and return sloppy emails. Climb ladders at dead of night with a pot of paint to remove the redundant apostrophe in "Video's sold here."

2. Karen Joy Fowler, The Jane Austen Book Club

Marriages are tested, affairs begin, and love happens when six Californians join – over a six-month period - to discuss Jane Austen's novels. A sublime comedy of contemporary manners.

3. Patricia Cornwell, Food to Die For

Her popular character, Kay Scarpetta, loves to unwind in the kitchen. Brimming with full-color photographs and criminally good recipes is this cookbook inspired by dozens of food scenes in Kay's kitchen and favorite restaurants.

4. Daniel Johnnes,Top 200 Wines New Edition

You don't have to be a wine expert to get a good deal on a great bottle. Without stuffy, technical terms or talking down to the inexperienced wine buyer, find the basics you need to know before making your next purchase.

Like you, we love good books, and the best thing to do with a good book is to share it… however, we must limit this offer to current instructors of K-8 Reading Methods courses. Thank you for your cooperation.
