Hi Mongers

It appears that publishing houses are falling over themselves to
put free books in the hands of user groups.  As evidence of this
phenomenom, I just received a parcel from the good folks at Addison
Wesley containing:

  Title:  Network Programming with Perl
  Author: Lincoln Stein 
  ISBN:   0-201-61571-1
  Publishers link: http://cseng.aw.com/book/0,3828,0201615711,00.html

This book gets an average of 5 stars on Amazon.com's 

  http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201615711/

Now the catch ...

As our part of the bargain, Addison Wesley would like us to review
the book and 'publish' the review.  Suggested avenues for
publishing include a message to a news group or a page on a web 
site.  We of course have a web site and a book review section
could be added fairly easily.

Now all we need is someone to review the book.

If you're interested in:
 - Low level socket I/O
 - Higher level IO::Socket and Net::Telnet interfaces
 - FTP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, NNTP
 - HTTP and LWP
 - Forking, threading, multiplexed an nonblocking I/O
 - Tons of other networking and IPC topics

and can come up with a short review (within a month), drop me a 
line and we'll get the book to you.

Regards
Grant
