WIN! The Spark book from @sparkpeople - DG 9th Birthday Sell Out Day 7

The prize: Four readers will receive a copy of The Spark, courtesy of SparkPeople.com.

Available to readers from: Worldwide.

What the heck is it?
The Spark is a book from the experts who created SparkPeople.com. It distills the wealth of information, plans and tips on the website into handy book form. Best of all it draws on the wisdom of "successful losers" from the site with inspiring before and after photos. The book is out now in the US and out in the UK from tomorrow.

Why do you dig it?
I was invited to read an advance copy of the book last year and now you can find my verdict on TheSpark's website:

How novel to see my floating head next to a quote that I actually said, as opposed to all those fake ass acai berry testimonials!

There are 4 copies of The Spark to be won. Simply leave a comment below to enter! Entries close Wednesday 3 February 2010 at 12.00 GMT. Winner will be drawn at random.

[64 · Posted by Dave Jackson · January 24, 2010 at 11:48 AM]

I love Spark People. I'm very curious about this book to see if it is more than just a giant commercial for their site. I know I get a lot of inspiration from the community at their site.

[65 · Posted by Jenny Raine · January 24, 2010 at 12:01 PM]

Looks great - would love a copy!
