Make sure your Manning books don't already come with the free PDF version
before you spring (couldn't resist) for it. When I get them from Amazon,
they sometimes come with an insert that allows you to download the PDF.

http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/is

something up fast.

would rather throw away a manuscript than release a bad one, but I haven't
read it. The paper versions are great to take to a cafe, but definitely
spend a few extra bucks on the PDF too. It's more than worth the price of a
