Is there a new or upcoming book on Open Source that you're
interested in getting, but don't have $40 lying around to
spend?  We may be able to obtain a free copy for you.

What's the catch?  All you have to do is write a review of the
book for The Open Pitt <http://www.wplug.org/top/>.  See issues
12, 21, and 22 for examples of previous reviews.

A list of some titles that we may be able to get our hands on
follows.  Take a look and see if you'd be interested in reviewing
