Hi, this is my first post to the list, and I just signed up a day ago, so
please bear with me while I get my feet wet.

I just placed my first order with The Bookpool, a WWW bookstore
specializing in technical books.

They're running a sale on all sorts of computer books, including O'Reilly
titles. I just ordered four O'Reilly books for between 28%-31% off, and
3-day DHL Express shipping to Japan for the order is $34 -- less than the
cost of ONE of these books here in Tokyo. And if you can wait six weeks for
surface mail, you can shave another $10-15 off the shipping price.

You can check them out at:

I'm a total Linux newbie, (I have Red Hat 4.2 running on my old 486 but am
not doing much with it yet), but I hope to make the meeting this weekend...
