Raffle items are random, at least at the saint pete meeting.

Yes, it would be separate.
I should have been more clear. Books and such will be sent to Paul and
the meeting coordinators will be responsible
for getting them for their meetings. It would be nice if you happen to
get a raffled book to do a review of it.
As a separate issue, I will pass along books that may or may not get
sent to us for review by our memebers.
The details of getting books to you, I don't know, we/I will worry about
that after/if I actually get books.
I am willing to do this so people can give reviews on books that they
may not normally purchase.
I personally read reviews on books I am looking at buying.
If the process because plauged with petty arguements or people being
unreasonable about what is to be expected for some thing that is free
and that I am putting my time into, I will stop.
As for a limit on books, we will find out.
