Hi All,
I now have the following books to give away:
* Mastering Regular Expressions [3]
* Perl Best Practices
* Perl Cookbook [2]
* Learning PHP 5
* Learning Perl [4]
* HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide [6]
The numbers in brackets are edition numbers.

Let me know if you want any of these books.
The deal is you need to be willing to pick the book(s) up
at my place in Oakland at an agreed upon time.
Otherwise, there are no strings attached --
except the book is not intended for resale.
If more than one person wants a book,
I'll figure out what to do when that happens.

Below my signature is more info on the books
including the URL of the O'Reilly online Catalog Entry
for the book.
Typically, the Catalog Entry provides such info as:
* link to table of contents
* link to index
* link to sample chapter
* description of book
* reviews

Thanks to everyone who suggested a book.
It was gratifying to receive so many suggestions.
I believe the above list includes at least one book
from each person's suggestions.

There are reviews of two of these books on our site:
* Mastering Regular Expressions [3]
   URL of Review:

Skoal,
