Dateline: 06/15/98

There's still a week left to enter our contest to win a personally autographed copy of Michael Campbell's excellent book, Cooking the Books With Mike which features his "50 Favorite Recipes for Instant Financial Success."

To win, start a new thread or post a reply to an existing thread on the Investing (Canada) Bulletin Board. The person starting the most interesting new thread or posting the most interesting reply wins the book. The topic must deal with some aspect of investing, financial planning and so on. (If you can't think of a topic to start a new thread with, why not just post a note saying why you want to win the book!) If I can't decide on a winner, I'll put all the names in a hat and draw one.

Contest closes on June 22nd or after at least 25 entries have been received, whichever comes later.

Here are some testimonials about the book:

"Cooking the Books With Mike has more valuable information in it than The Wealthy Barber (He could have called it The Wealthy Chef!). It's also easier to read and better organized. And probably most importantly, it'll give you a few chuckles, and Lord knows we need more of that!"
Marco den Ouden - Investing (Canada) Guide (see review)

"Without a doubt this is the easiest, most practical book on personal finance I've ever read. Everybody will be able to profit from this book."
Ozzie Jurock, President, Jurock's Real Estate Investor

"If you want to improve your personal financial situation, this book is for you. You'll love it and better still, you can't help but use it."
Byron Striloff, Vice President, Vantage Securities Inc.

Finally a book that I could use immediately. It saved me money. It made me money. Don't blow another dollar needlessly. . . buy it now."
Brent Berry, Community Sports Services, University of British Columbia

"It's about time that someone wrote a book on personal finance that anyone could use and benefit from. Saving and making money has definitely never been more fun."
Kevin Konar, RBC Dominion Securities
