Here is your chance to win yourself a signed copy of my new book, Simple Minds Song by Song. To be in the running for the prize leave a comment (either here on the blog or via Facebook or Instagram) with your guess of the total words used for the section inside the book on the song ‘Book of Brilliant Things’. To help you narrow down your guesses, few songs have gone over the 500-word mark. This is one of the majority of songs that did not exceed 500 words.
The person who gets it bang-on wins. If there is more than one correct guess, all correct entries will go into a random draw and one winner will be picked.
The competition will run until 23:59 UK BST on Sunday 18 October 2026. The winner will be announced the following day.
Entries will be open worldwide.
Good luck!
