      I am a student, and I love to read. I've been buying books from the Book Depository recently as a reward for getting through each one of my year eleven exams, and I'm loving how I can get the titles I want for half the prices they are on the shelves. It's really expanded my reading horizons as well-you have a customer for life with me, I'm afraid! :) These books would no doubt be very helpful in a couple of years starting University at ANU as I plan to, especially the flirting one! ;)

      Dummies books are great and as I am going to university next year at the ripe old age of 53 these will be extremely useful and very well read!

      I love the DUMMIES books. I have taught myself to use social media via Facebook for dummies and computers using MAC for dummies. I am hoping to reach the masses using social media and my modern history curriculum for Dummies...or rather those very smart people who understand the LESS is MORE and a picture speaks a thousand words. My website ARTWITHMEANING.info explains my philosophy. Help me go global and viral. Using pictures of toys and very few words, I would like to spark a peaceful intellectual revolution around the world, for those brilliant people who have low levels of literacy including refugees, children and 3rd world citizens.

      My wife and I had a series of these vans up until the 1990s. The tent will bring back memories as we snuggle inside, in bed, in the lounge, in front of our log fire.

      My father-in-law is the biggest VW/Kombi fan (in fact I think his is the same model as the tent) and goes camping every summer. I'd be the favourite daughter-in-law if I won this for his Christmas present.
