From today right through the weekend, we give you an opportunity to own some of Big Finish's finest non-audio works (that's books to the layman) - for only £2.99 each! And as a special treat, we'll be giving one lucky bookworm the chance to own some non-BF books, chosen - and signed - by members of the Big Finish family! Grab a book now and you'll be entered into our draw to win these priceless items, signed by the person who picked them:

Tom Baker - 'What a question! My favourite book? Let's keep it simple. For our purposes my very favourite read these days is... guess? Did I hear you say Treasure Island? Of course it is. I love it so much I even persuaded Big Finish to record it. A tale of greed, murder and mayhem, pirates, treachery and terror. And that's just for starters.'

Trevor Baxter - 'I'm very tempted to say A La Recherche du Temps Perdu by Marcel Proust which would leave you with nine volumes to buy! My favourite novel? What a question. Well, if I have to go for one it is Beware of Pity by Stepan Zweig, written in 1938 but so well translated by Anthea Bell it reads as though it was written yesterday. I first read it when I was sixteen and read it again recently in this new translation. It exemplifies the finest values of the European tradition, such as can be heard, say, in the Beethoven symphonies, the Mozart Piano concertos, etc, etc. Zweig's books were burned by the Nazis and he had to go into exile, eventually committing suicide, unable to live, I imagine, without the civilisation he saw being destroyed and whose culture he had so cherished and, indeed, enhanced. I'd be more than happy to sign a copy of that.'

Nick Briggs - 'Any Human Heart was recommended to me by Sarah Sutton. She gave the impression that she could see something in the book that would specifically appeal to me. She sort of narrowed her eyes and looked at me and said, 'I think you'd really like it.' I felt sort of flattered and went out straight away and bought it. I found later that she was doing this to everyone she spoke to! I wonder how many friends of hers actually read it? Anyway, I was hooked from the first page, and I can honestly say that it is the only book I've ever read that made me cry out with utter, uncontrollable despair at one point. Only trouble was, I was sharing a house with other actors at the time and it was four in the morning (I couldn't put the book down), so they all thought I was having some sort of night terror! All that aside, it is a truly brilliant piece of work.'

Louise Jameson - The Bone People
Paul Darrow - The Big Sleep
Jason Haigh-Ellery - The Hobbit
David Richardson - To Kill a Mockingbird
Paul Spragg - The Time Traveler's Wife
Kris Griffin - The Left Hand of Darkness
