Waterstone's have very kindly given us a selection of books to give away to help us get the word out about our Information Pioneers (thanks Kate and Greg!). We have *five* sets of books to give away, and they correspond quite nicely with our Pioneer/Advocate pairings:

• For Hedy Lamarr & Miranda Raison fans, there's the Intrigue Pack, with three books about secrets, acting, and self-discovery.

• For Sir Clive Sinclair and Phil Tufnell fans, there's the Sports Pack, with two books about football, politics and the World Cup.

• For Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Dom Joly fans, there's the Comedy Pack, with three books about growing up, being a joker and learning to laugh.

• For Alan Turing and Kate Russell fans, there's the War Pack, with three books about the British army, spying and gadgets

• For Ada Lovelace and Ortis Deley fans, there's the Culture Pack, with three books about British culture, international culture, and travel.
