Virgin Trains will be giving away free books on World Book Day (Wednesday 6 March 2014), courtesy of Legend Press.
Most of us look forward to a long train journey as a chance to get stuck in a good book. Whether it’s a whirlwind romance, a scary thriller or a swashbuckling adventure, there is nothing better than devouring pages while travelling at 125mph to your destination.
And with World Book Day just around the corner, Virgin Trains’ customers are being spoilt as we will be giving away free books at all our stations.
The books were generously donated by Legend Press, and include titles such as: ‘Nutmeg’ by Maria Goodin, ‘Letters from Yelena’ by Guy Mankowski and ‘The Summer we all ran away’ by Cassandra Parkin.
Graham Leech, Executive Director, Commercial for Virgin Trains said: “At Virgin Trains we all enjoy a good read. By letting the train take the strain, there is no better time to indulge in a book than when you are travelling with no worries on your mind. We are delighted that Legend Press Publishing is giving our customers the opportunity to enjoy World Book Day while on the move.”
Lucy Chamberlain, Publicity Director for Legend Press, says: “We are delighted to be working with Virgin Trains on this project for World Book Day and to share some fantastic novels with their customers. We want to remind everyone there is no better time to read an unforgettable book than when travelling. We are also thrilled to be working with one of the most innovative brands in the UK and hope that Virgin Trains’customers will help us spread the word that great books can not only take you on a journey but stay with you forever.”
