Computer Book Giveaway
I review computer guides for LJ (and, if you haven't picked up the RSS feed yet, you might want to, since the column's hard to find on their site). So, I have several stacks of books here, published between 2005-2006, that need to leave my house. These are not galleys, but actual published copies.
I'll mail one box of these books to each of three U.S. public libraries, no strings attached (although a donation receipt would be nice). If interested, e-mail cmedia@lisjobs.com by April 24 with the following info:
Contact name, e-mail, and physical library address
One paragraph on why your library could use a box of computer books
A couple of subject areas you could particularly use (e.g., Windows XP, A+ certification, podcasting)
The three libraries selected will be notified by May 1, and I'll ship out the books via media mail in early May. Feel free to pass this message along to colleagues.

Hi,
I saw your post on the Carleton aggregator site (where my blog is posted as well) and my internal PR engine kicked in.
I have a Java programming book coming out this summer (hopefully a 'rough cut' soon) called 'Filthy Rich Clients' (you can read about it on my blog or search for it on Amazon). Is this something you would interested in reviewing? If so, I can forward your contact info to the publisher (Prentice Hall).
(Apologies for spamming your blog; I didn't know how to get ahold of you otherwise. Feel free to delete the comment...)

Hi Chet - no problem - my e-mail's linked here somewhere :). All the books I review go through Library Journal first, and I do generally receive the Prentice Hall titles. Thanks for checking, and congrats on the book!
