I am not sure if I had mentioned it on this list or not .... The Tucson Computer Society gets free books with the agreement that someone will review the book and the review is published in their journal, used to be printer, and circulated to about 3000 members. Of course this is 5 year old information.
I think they used to publish a list of available titles and the ones selected were ordered and distributed.
Is it possible to do something like that here at PLUG? I would be interested in reviewing a couple of books a year for a couple of free books and the reviews could be posted to our soon to be new website.
I would even volunteer to help with this.
Thoughts?
