2. When making a nomination, please use "add book/author" link to help moderators and others view the book selected.

3. Only seven books, by seven different authors will move forward to each poll. This will be determined by the number of seconds a book receives. The seven books with the most seconds move to the poll.

4. One nomination and one second per member will be allowed. A nomination can be changed only until it has been seconded. Once seconded, in fairness to the member making the second, the nomination will stand.

You may change a second from one book to another. Please state which book you originally seconded and which you would like to change to.
