Better late than never, 2015’s Unofficial Eurovision Guidebook has hit the proverbial shelves. Chock-full of information on this year’s artists, songs, National Selections, and each nation’s history at Eurovision, this free, downloadable eBook (available in PDF, EPUB, and AZW/MOBI formats) is a fantastic resource to have at your fingertips as we approach this year’s shows.
Still on the fence on whether to download a copy or not? Here are a few reasons to check it out:
Learn all about this year’s songs, and be the new ringer on your local pub quiz team! (After all, the book was written and edited by ESC Insight’s own Jeopardy! Champion, Samantha Ross.)

It’s free, so you literally have nothing to lose!
Grab your copy of ESC Insight’s Guide to the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest here. (If you’d like to share it online, we’d ask you to credit us here at ESC Insight and link back to this page, rather than pointing directly to the eBook.)

Vaguely aware of the Contest since childhood, a fanatic since 2008, and an ESC blogger since 2009, Samantha Ross made her first sojourn to Eurovision in 2011, and was quickly welcomed into the fold at ESC Insight.
Over the years, she's been interviewed by BBC World News, SVT, LBC Radio, and many others. She was a semi-regular contributor to Oystermouth Radio's weekly dedicated Eurovision program, "Wales 12 Points". Furthermore, Samantha contributed to BBC Radio 2's coverage of the Copenhagen contest, and was a member of the official JuniorEurovision.tv web team in 2014 and 2015. She also worked as a member of the Bulgarian Delegation, serving as Assistant Head of Press in Kyiv and Lisbon. She is also the creator of the podcast "12 Points from America", an irreverent look at Eurovision from a US point of view.
When not at Eurovision, Samantha is a regular on the Twin Cities pub quiz circuit, and has volunteered as a moderator for the local high school quiz bowl for over ten years. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, but is wistfully looking for opportunities to get geographically closer to the heart of the Eurovision action.
