Recommendation for Hull students
I visited a great little place in Hull yesterday. I've been having trouble with my trusty bike, so popped into Bob's Bikes on Beverley Road while I had a few minutes, and what a hidden gem this place is. The guy was real friendly, and looked at my bike straight away, He found the problem, something to do with my gears which I really didn't understand. Within about 15 minutes he had fitted a new cable thingy, and charged me very little I think. I would recommend this place to other students, as it's a bit off the student drag, but well worth a trip. It's on Beverley Road in Hull near the Cannon Junction pub. They also did me 10% off with my NUS card. Even better.

The magic 100
Today we reached the milestone of the first 100 books on the site, well 101 actually, but what's an extra one between friends? As promised the prize duck will be winging its way over to the lucky lister very soon.
Also, after a flurry of activity on Twitter, another prize duck will soon be on it's way to Pennsylvania in the USofA. Thanks to everyone who helped increase our following.
Soon, we will be launching our 'Five reasons to list' campaign, which will encourage students to list their used textbooks. This will be spread through our Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, e-newsletter and on the main site itself. We hope that by getting more books on the site will tempt more people to use it, and so on. We want people to be leaders, not followers.
Recently we have also been in touch with other websites. Our new fave is Doofa, which enables you to list what you would do for cash so you can turn your spare time and skills into money. We recommend you take a look soon. If you can't find them, visit our facebook page and click on the link. Laters.....

Twitter Prize Draw
Am getting a bit more into this Twitter business. To celebrate my new found social-geekness, we are giving away a duck-shaped prize (to be decided) to one lucky Twitter follower who re-tweets any of our tweets about the prize draw. Visit our Twitter page to find one. The prize is yet to be bought, but we guarantee it will be small, cute and duck-like. Just like me!
