      So many books I want are out of print. Maybe I'll get lucky with this offer.

      My daughter began the task years ago, then dropped it. My eldest sister hopes to continue as a retirement project. I recently found the derivation of our surname & ordered a scroll for myself & each of my three sisters

      Great site! Fantastic free delivery! Only need a gift-wrap service and then you would be the absolute tops! Also would appreciate books at least in the main European languages (I have friends and family in Italy and would love to be able to send them books in their own language and not just English - especially when buying for small children).

      Love the site. I have purchased many hard copy and e books with not a single problem. I have recommended book depository to many bibliophile friends. I was worried when Amazon took over the free postage would cease, but so far, so good.

      I have been researching my family for years and often hit walls. My husband is more patient and has added 50,000 names to my family alone and he hasn't scratched the surface. I would love to give this Family Tree Maker to him. He would have so much fun. Thank you.

      After 20 years of researching my family history I would love to have the new version of Family Tree Maker to be able to sync my tree with my one on ancestry.com - it would make things so much easier to have both uptodate and exactly the same. Cant - wait - hope I win!!

      Ideal prize for someone who is retired and has always wanted to trace family tree and now has the time to do it.

      Whenever I am surfing Amazon for used books and I see Book Depository, that's who I choose even if a little higher price. Done it many times and never had an issue.
