Apress Seeks New Reviewers!

Apress is actively seeking fresh voices to write about our books. As a
publisher, we rely on independent writers and reviewers to speak
forcefully and honestly about our products to the larger technology
book-buying community.

Which of these titles would you like to review immediately?

Please take a moment to read the review-writing guidelines we've posted:
http://www.apress.com/userGroups/writeareview.html. In general, we like
to see reviews posted to Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and/or Bookpool--to
name a few places.

Please reply to me at blahblahblah at apress.com, if you or another group
member would be interested in posting a prompt, thorough review on one
or both of these books.

Thank you in advance!

Kids:

We do NOT have a good record with reviewing Apress books, so please do
not volunteer unless you are willing to put in 40 hours reading a book
(or less, if you're a speed-reader) and a good 10 hours writing a decent
review. There's no such thing as a free lunch, but if you're between
gigs, here's a chance to read a book, write about it, and establish
yourself as an authority in the field by reviewing the book at no cost
to you. But please don't volunteer if you're just going to leech a book.
It hurts you and it hurts GNHLUG.

Reply to me directly and I'll follow up with Apress.
