Dear Reading Group Members:

On behalf of Macmillan Audio and Reading Group Choices, I am delighted to let you know that your book club has been selected to participate in The American Heiress summer audiobook campaign. You and your fellow group members will each receive the full audiobook program (before its 6/21 on sale date!) of Daisy Goodwin's highly anticipated debut to discuss at your June meetings—just in time for "June is Audiobook Month."

This email includes a link to download the full audiobook edition of The American Heiress, along with directions for both PC and Mac users. Please note that the content of this audiobook is protected by copyright laws of the U.S. and foreign countries.  It is intended for your individual use only. Copying, redistribution, broadcasting, editing, or alteration inconsistent with copyright laws is prohibited.

We have a limited quantity of physical audiobooks available. If someone in your group needs a physical copy, please email me. We will fulfill these requests on a first come first serve basis while supplies last.  If you have any questions regarding the digital download or the book club campaign in general, please let me know. Thank you again for your participation, and I hope you enjoy listening!
