the library.]

{1} and {2} - I pointed out in a previous mailing that if I posted this
to our public list, the codes would be easily found on the Internet.
Heather agreed, and asked me to omit the "secret codes." Contact me
and I'll be glad to supply you with the codes.

As always, if you are aware of an upcoming book you'd like to request a
review copy of, or you know of a LUG promotion where we could promote
one of their upcoming titles, Pearson has been good about supplying us
with review and promotional copies. Contact me and I'll pass your
request along.
