Free Banned Book

An Independent report said that it would give away an exclusive hardback edition of A Clockwork Orange free with every copy of The Independent print edition on Saturday 24th February. And then every week, starting from Saturday, 3 March, print edition readers will be able to buy a new hardback copy of the featured title for the week at a special discounted price of only £3.49 (RM 24.50) with the newspaper in the UK.

The report says: 'Banned Books is an exclusive collection of 25 cutting-edge titles, censored classics and literary landmarks by authors including Ernest Hemingway, Vladimir Nabokov, Franz Kafka, Andre Gide, Maya Angelou, William Burroughs, Kurt Vonnegut, Henry Miller and Ray Bradbury…'

And further adds: 'Their survival is a triumph of independent thought over the forces of repression, and a reminder of how exhilarating fiction at the cutting edge of the imagination can be.'

Anyone with friends in the UK?
