...but this is a pretty nice one. Powell's Books, a local new/used bookstore that I very much adore, is holding a contest. The winner gets a credit for 10 free books (up to $25 per book, free shipping via Economy Mail to US addresses or via US Postal Service Surface mail to international addresses, and also a 5-book credit to give to a friend. (They even explicitly state that if you want a more expensive book or better shipping, you can pay just the difference.) Books may be collected all at once or one at a time and are chosen by the winner.
The cost is, of course, agreeing to be put on their newsletter. I already get their newsletter (it's where I learned of this), and I like it a lot, but the lovely thing is that you can request to be removed after the first email, if you want. Their Security and Privacy Policy commits that your information will not be given to third parties in any way, at any time, for any reason. I have never had cause to doubt that they live up to it.
