[kw-pm] UG News: Get Your Free Books + More from O'Reilly

Mon May 13 10:03:07 PDT 2013

We have a taker for the D3.js data visualization book.

If anybody else has any requests let me know by tomorrow morning so I can
tell Marsee.
(Also, I recall they will send along other books that aren't the ones
they're specifically asking to promote- if you look on O'Reilly and see any
newish books you want to review, give a shout.)
