Prize: RARE ITEM (in Contests)


! Love Barney August 22 2005 9:33 PM EDT

In my hand i hold Two (2) books. The first book is "Timeline" and the second book is "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde"

To win this contest you will have to tell me the following:
1) Who wrote each book.
2)The first chapter/section of each book.
3) And Finally, you will need to add up the ISBN numbers of both books and multiply them together. This is so that people that arent good at googling still have a chance.

Good luck to all, and take your time! Dont make a simple mathematicall error that would lose you this contest. To prevent random and endless guessing, there will be a $5,000 fee per guess with a maximum of two (2) guesses per person per day, as in 24 hours. (money to be sent to Dabank and placed into the pot)
Once again good luck to all.

1)Timeline by Michael Crichton
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

so im know i got 1 and now 2 right since you just want the chapter title and looked in my books for that,
but can you please tell me which copy you have so i can give you the isbn since i see no point in getting the numbers from the copies i own or just guessing and wasting my money. http://www.campusi.com/ta_Timeline_by_Crichton.htm
http://www.campusi.com/ta_Dr._Jekyll_and_Mr._Hyde_by_Stevenson.htm

cause the number i gave you is the correct for my version of the books and there just to many to add together and guess
