Winners, please post your addresses in Comments (they won’t be published) or let me know if you can claim your prizes on Saturday at the Good Ideas Forum.
Because we had such a strong field, judge Butch Perez also picked two Honorable Mentions:

Thanks to National Bookstore for supporting this weekly contest, and to Butch Perez for thinking up this challenge (and picking the winners, so please address your protests to him). Thanks for joining last week’s LitWit challenge, this week’s challenge commences in a bit.
