Announcing the 10 Days in Google Books game
July 27, 2009
Which infamous book thief got caught stealing from the Chicago Public Library and was later acquitted on grounds of insanity? How many European cities are mentioned in Karen Fowler's "The Jane Austen Book Club?" And can you figure out what curious objects Dorothy is picking from a tree in this illustration from Frank Baum's "Ozma of Oz?"
Stumped? Find the answers to these and other fun questions in the
10 Days in Google Books game
. Each day, we'll ask you five trivia questions on a different theme. Search
Google Books
to find the answers with hints to help you along the way. After you answer each day's questions, you can enter a contest to win a Sony Reader. If you enjoy the game, come back the next day for another set of questions — and another chance to win.
For official rules, including prize descriptions, visit
http://books.google.com/game
. (Please note: Some books may not be available in full view to those outside the United States.) The first 20,000 people to play the game will also receive commemorative Google Books laptop stickers. So all you bookworms out there,
start playing
now!
