I got through as far as Paypal which struggled with the £0 transfer but my cart now shows up as empty.

Ooh, it seems to have worked this time, I selected the No Payment Information Required option. I have an order number at least.

I didn't see that option, that'll be where I cocked up :)

Week 2 just went up
https://ospreypublishing.com/blog/Free_eBooks_week_2/

This week's glitch appears to be getting it to recognise the delivery address, still working on it.
Looks like it may have been a 2 part gremlin, firstly it had added my year of birth into my listed address and the search keeps defaulting to Rest of the world. Can't be sure as it's throwing up loads of internal server errors.

Nope, still hasn't fixed it, I'll try again in the early hours

Same problem for me. I've been trying all evening but I can't get beyond 'the delivery address doesn't match to the store I've selected'. No idea what that means.

Very nice of Osprey to offer free books. I suspect the problem is caused by demand.

Modiphius are giving away the Elder Scrolls core rulebook as well. Not much use without the cards but worth a gleg for free.
