At least with O'Reilly, we can ask for any of their in-print books, so 
take a look at their online catalog. The email from the wrox guy says all 
of their open source titles.

Unless someone objects, I think the policy should be if you want a book, 
you need to write a review of a book you already have, and then we (I) can 
work on getting another book.

Most of the vendors are fairly nice with giving away free things, but they 
like hearing something back.
