&lt;p&gt;To become a member of the BBBC you must be a registered member of this website and meet three conditions:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A) You must own a copy of The Big Brown Book (aka Information Modeling and Relational Databases: Second Edition.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you bought the book after 30 May 2008, you should have bought it via the&amp;nbsp;link from the image below. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0123735688?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=ormfoundation-21&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1634&amp;amp;creative=6738&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0123735688"&gt;&lt;img style="WIDTH:193px;HEIGHT:193px;" height="131" src="http://ormfoundation.org/images/smallIMARDv2.jpg" width="111" border="0" alt="" /&gt; &lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;B) You must have posted a review of the book on the Amazon.co.uk&amp;nbsp;website &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;C) You must have posted at least one substantial comment on the book in a reply to this post.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Members of the BBBC&amp;nbsp;are automatically&amp;nbsp;entered in the ORM Foundation BBBC competition which will award PRIZES to&amp;nbsp;contributors to this thread who, in the opinion of the registered members of this website, have made&amp;nbsp;posts that are judged to be &amp;quot;The best two BBBC&amp;nbsp;posters&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The &amp;quot;best &amp;quot; will be established by a voting mechanism&amp;nbsp;that will be made available&amp;nbsp;in this forum on 1 November 2008.&lt;br /&gt;The two winners will be announced at the end&amp;nbsp;of the ORM 2008 workshop on 14&amp;nbsp;November 2008.&lt;br /&gt;The two&amp;nbsp;prizes will be&amp;nbsp;autographed&amp;nbsp;copies of the Big Brown Book plus two&amp;nbsp;accompanying cash prizes of £50 to pay for the un-autographed copy that you had to buy to become a member of the BBBC.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let the posting commence!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ken&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
