FYI: I've enlisted NLUG into the O'Reilly User Group program. They are willing to provide some free books to the group, through me (as the current administrative contact) for review purposes, so if anyone would like to get an O'Reilly book to review for the group, please let me know.
There is also a discount code in the email below, for buying O'Reilly ebooks (buy one get one free.) More information below.

Welcome! We hope you received the emails from O'Reilly giving you access to a free ebook or two. Please use these for yourself as a welcome gift from O'Reilly. If they didn't arrive, just send an email to [email protected] with a couple of books you're interested in and we'll give you access as soon as we can. We can also offer ebooks as giveaways for your group. Here are details about the program you should know: O'Reilly offers free review copies of our books. As the group rep, you may request a copy for review in your newsletter, web site, blog, mailing list, or for your group library. Requests for review copies must be submitted by you, as the contact for your group. If you wish for the review copy to be shipped to another group member, please supply the name, address, and phone number of that member for shipment. If a review of a book has been written, please forward a copy to me. We are also encouraging user group members to post reviews to sites such as Amazon, Slashdot, and oreilly.com. For current user group info, graphics, and book review information please go to: ug.oreilly.com<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z6c17nt4eu8jvvrjdchpgmhdr403m3ca80v42j78> Sign yourself up on O'Reilly Answers and include info about your user group in your profile. We'll make sure you get a user group leader badge for your profile. Don't forget to add me as your friend. answers.oreilly.com<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zseo74k1h66ieertnjdsfre5064i5fvjj2n3hub8> *Buy 1 Ebook, Get 1 Free Go to oreilly.com and use discount code: DSUG2 When you buy ebooks through oreilly.com you get lifetime access to the book, and whenever possible we provide it to you in five, DRM-free file formats--PDF, ePub, Kindle compatible .mobi, DAISY, and Android APK--that you can use on the devices of your choice.

(Please allow enough time for ground shipping.) We'll also send you links to articles, tips, and book and product news in our UG newsletter. If you opted not to receive the newsletter, you may want to reconsider, as this is the best way to know which books are being released, and serves as a reminder to request review copies for your group. Many groups post the newsletters to their members list or on their web site. What you can do for O'Reilly: - Make sure your members know about our discount by making an announcement or handing out our bookmarks with the discount info. - Add an O'Reilly Banner to your web site from our UG page: ug.oreilly.com<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zapnp00m3g0i4kdcr2gt98i4b6fhlsssvhild5a0>If you don't have a web site, please post O'Reilly information in your newsletters or mailing lists. - Encourage your members to review our books and post the reviews on your site or discussion lists, in your newsletters, or at any online book review site such as Amazon, Slashdot, Barnes & Noble, or oreilly.com--making sure you send me a copy too. For book review suggestions go to: ug.oreilly.com/bookreviews<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zllfq69mkca94om63k39kgc7jc95ptk62ebttle8> Please let us know if you have any questions.
