[Brazosvalley-pm] Apress User Group Program

[Jeremy Fluhmann]

Here's the information from the Apress UG program.  If anyone finds a
book on their site that they would like to read, let me know.  Below,
you can find how to get the User Group discount if you want to order a
book for yourself.

1. Overview of Membership Benefits:

* Free books in exchange for reviews.

* Free promotional items for user group raffles and events.
* Author speaking engagements: If our authors are in your region, I'll

2. Free Books for the Group:

We are happy to donate Apress books if your group has an active book
review program. Or if your group will be raffling off prizes for a
special meeting, we'll also be glad to donate items.  

In exchange, we request that each book recipient or winner write a
thoughtful review and then post it to any or all of the following
locations: 
 
* A heavily trafficked blog, group website, or "geek" site
* Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or Bookpool websites
* A print publication

Once the review is posted or published, you or the reviewer may contact
me to let me know. At this point, we'll be happy to send another book
for review, and so forth.

If you or group members would like guidelines for writing reviews,
please view our suggestions here:

3. User Group Book Discount*:

Place your order with our distributor, Springer, by calling
1-800-SPRINGER. Once you connect with a customer service representative,
please mention the discount code, "APRESSUG" along with the name of your
user group. 
 
* At this time, we are unable to honor this discount to user group
members located outside of North and South America, Mexico, and the
Caribbean.
