Well, these ones especially. That magnificent magazine The Oldie runs weekly giveaway prizes, and you can land yourself some rewarding goodies by entering. (The Oldie magazine, by the way, is a kind of Punch meets Private Eye and spawns Huff Post for those who have no time for bullshit. Satire and irony are high on the ingredient list and old age is targeted by and for the contributors. A refreshing publication in a world of sycophancy. I recommend it.)

 The point is, keep an eye on the page offering these giveaways over the next few weeks as several items from our Pipeline Press shelves are being dangled as prizes. At the moment, Organs and Organists: Their Inside Stories is one little offering (ends tomorrow Thursday, I think, but best go and do it now while you can) and others, which include Organ-isms: Anecdotes from the World of the King of Instruments and Martin Setchell's CD Cardboard Cathedral Organ Capers are coming along shortly. So bookmark the page and check back. Remember the old adage about mouths and gift horses...

 This new book, so beautifully produced by Dr Butz publishers of Bonn, Germany, is now available through our site, using PayPal. The cost of €18 plus €8 p&p worldwide is below cost for a short time, so check it out as soon as you can. 
Looking Up (which is trilingual, with text in German - under which it uses the main title of Dem Himmel Nahe - French, and Engish) is not just the usual amazing view of pipe organs in all their glory, but it looks at their environments, particularly the ceilings above them into which they so often appear to soar or disappear.  It's a fascinating insight into how organ-building and architecture can combine to form an incredible harmonious and aesthetic experience.
