World Book Night 2012 takes place today, which means readers all over the world will be handing out special copies of their favourite books to spread their love of literature throughout their communities. Have you seen or even received a book from any of this year’s ‘givers’ yet? We’ll be handing out 24 copies of our chosen title Touching the Void later today – in the meantime, take a look at the remaining 12 books on this year’s list (you can see the first 13 in Part 1 here).

There’s just three days to go until World Book Night 2012. On 23rd April thousands of people across the world will spread their love of reading by gifting free books to people in their communities. So keep an eye out at stations, town centres and your work place from next week, and you might just pick up a free copy of one of this year’s 25 books. In the first part of our preview, we take a look at thirteen of the chosen World Book Night titles.
