To commemorate the bicentenary of Thomas Paine’s death this very day, Verso are giving away several copies of our new edition of his Rights of Man and Common Sense with a brand new introduction by Peter Linebaugh.
For a chance of winning, answer correctly:
Which work of Tom Paine did Obama quote in his inauguration speech? And which other American president, at another turning point in American history, presented this work to his men?
Email in your answers to: enquiries AT verso.co.uk. The first five correct answers will be chosen and informed by the end of the week. The competition will only be open to those outside of North America.

When are (North) Americans going to be allowed to participate in these kinds of competitions?!
Sorry, this blog is mainly for highlighting events in the UK. But there may be North American treats in the future!
