Hi Jamal and Chris,
It is great that we are donating them after scanning. Isn't possible to
get book directly in CHM or PDF format from these Books Selling Sites.
I have seen some sites which sell books in electronic format and of
course they are in cheaper rates.
Regards
Punit Diwan

Speaking of wives, you worked with my wife Susan before we were married at
the K School and I had met your Susan at conferences and such before you
were married. Frankly, I'm pretty well convinced that there is a conspiracy
of Susans watching our every move <laugh>.

A Susan makes a lovely wife, indeed!
I just ordered the following two books from Amazon.com, shipped to Chris
and Susan Hofstader:
Building powerful and robust websites with Drupal 6 ÿÿ
Should arrive by May 1, and
Pro Drupal Development, Second Edition (Pro) ÿÿ
should arrive in July (a pre-order).
I do not need the print versions, so donate to a good cause. I would
appreciate help from Jackie, Jim Homme, and any other BookShare volunteers
in validating the books ASAP after the scans are submitted.
Cheers,
Jamal
