In a nutshell, we have a Java program that reads all posts in the forum during the promo and randomly picks posts to win. The book promo coordinator of the week (Henry or myself) confirms the winning post is eligible. The author can't win, Henry and I can't win, the post must be on topic, the user must have a valid display name, etc. The full rules are online.

So the program does not love my name Azrael Noor,
or it may be throw exception "BUG FOUND",
thats why it does not select me. just joking

Good sir go on.
i already have this book.
So good that it will reach in that hands which is devoid of this book.
Keep this charity work on.
god bless you all
