The QUESTION IS: Who was the Studio Manager at the British Ministry of Information during the Second World War? (Clue, check out http://www.ww2poster.co.uk)
THE CHANCE TO WIN? As I have somewhat of a love-affair with Twitter, I’ll be giving away 10 copies to a random set of ten Twitterers who Retweet the following entry:
RT @drbexl, Keep Calm and Carry On #kcco, www.ww2poster.co.uk. MOI Studio Manager: [answer] (Answer/RT for chance to win 1 of 10)
The 10 winners will be announced via my Twitter on the afternoon of Monday 20th July (GMT). Winners will be sent their prizes direct from the publishers (they’ve said they’re happy to ship worldwide), but will need to email me names/addresses, which I will request via Twitter (I will pass them onto the publishers and won’t use them for other purposes).
