It's nice of you to make that offer. Unfortunately, I can't come,
physically but can be reached by email.
Besides, your book will just gather dust. I suggest you gave it to SLUG
enthusiasts who are keen to learn C.
I'll make this offer, though. For every SLUG enthusiasts to whom you
will give a book for free that can satisfy me that they learned from
your book
What about Hal Ashburner? He has told me that he found my book useful.
Does he count?
I said in my offer . . . will . . . , but I will make this ONE and ONLY
ONE exception. So,
the answer is YES, he gets the offer if he wants.
To Hal: Please provide a photo of the Back Cover of the book, the one with
the ISBN Number (and a photo of the page that has the price tag if
there is)
and email it to me. Can you provide me also with a short resume or
bio-data with

apart from your email.
Can you write short description of your experiences with the book and
email me
along, please.
and say it's not a waste of their time, I'll offer to
pay you half the bookshop's retail price . This offer is good for
up to 25 enthusiasts.
I'd be happy to take you up on this offer. Unfortunately I only have
three remaining spare copies.
So, the first three people who can attend Friday's SLUG meeting and
are interested in this should email me privately (and CC Oscar) with
the title of the book.
- If one of the first three people don't show up at SLUG the book
will go to the next person on the list.
- If we don't get three people who sent email the books will go to
people who are there on the night.
Anyone interested can also inspect pages 39 to 42 for themselves.

Erik (and Oscar)
The title is "Sams Teach Yourself C for Linux Programming in 21 Days" ISBN:
0672315971
I'd love a copy and love to get to Slug on Friday, though live in Lismore.
If nobody claims a book, may I request to be the default receiver? I am happy
to pay postage!
I yearn to learn C to be able to write an ap for tracking change in heart rate
with a pulse oxymeter plugged into com port. And now really keen now after
your passionate banter!.
BTW, strange, how elx.com.au don't have it, and bookware.com.au do but omit the all important "C programing" in the title.
The reviews from Amazon are astounding!
regards
Russell
