I buy too many books. It's that simple. And I have tons that I think other people could use more than I could.

I have, in readable condition, (not good, readable -- that means no ripped out pages, no nasty spills, but they are most definitely used books. Don't worry, they'll work for you; if they won't, we can exchange back) the following books:

The Perl Cookbook
Learning Perl
Programming Perl
C++, The Core Language
C++ Primer Plus (by the waite group)
Linux Programming White Papers
Practical C Programming

I haven't come up with specific prices, but I can't imagine charging any more than $10 + shipping for any of those. I also have, though not currently in my possession (they're loaned out):

The O'Reilly Bash book (can't remember the exact title)
Linux: Core Kernel and Commentary
Running Linux
Linux in a Nutshell

Again, I can't imagine charging more than $10 for any of these, though I can't ship right away, as they're not in my possession.

Free, for the cost of shipping only (mostly because I either got them free or they're not incredibly useful):

TeX for the beginner (by Wynter Snow [no joke, that's his name -- parents must've hated him.])
Debian GNU/Linux Guide to Installation and Usage

If anyone wants any of these, just ask. Post (or email me at jfincher@jemfinch.shacknet.nu) why you want the book (what you do with it is more important to me, really, than what else I would get out of it.) If you have any books you'll consider trading, my current interests are Python, XML, SQL, and Latin.

P.S. This post is much more useful here than in the sale/trade forum, IMO.

Hey man, I would love those perl books, all 3 or at the very least Learning Perl ( got a copy of programming perl at the library and its just not a great language starter book ). Anyways, email me at dpeck@flintemc.net and tell me what you would accept for those, I have some books I could trade for it if you're interested. Thanks

Hey Jeremy, I tried to get you over email but I cant seem to reach you so I guess Ill just post here and hope for the best. I really want Learning Perl, and The Perl Cookbook. I have The Complete C Reference to trade and a few other books I doubt you'd be interested in, but I am willing to pay. Please email me if still interested in getting rid of the books. dpeck@flintemc.net

I got the email; it's been sitting in my mailbox. I've been working entirely too much, in addition to still recovering from giving blood a few days ago (so I've been sleeping a lot). Sorry about the late response; I'm responding to all the emails tonight http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

I sent the emails last night, but I had postfix misconfigured until tonight, so anyone who emailed me probably got a "relay access denied" error.

Sorry about the inconvenience, send as much as you want now. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Hey, I keep trying to email you, but I keep getting errors so Ill just post here and hope you get it. I agree with paying $20 + shipping for Learning Perl and The Perl Cookbook. Now all I need to know is where to send the money to. Hope you get in touch with me soon.

Man.

This is horrible. My IP hasn't changed in 30 days, so dyndns.org decided to change it.

Anyway, since I know this has to look shady with my email breaking all the time, I'd rather (for my reputation's sake, in case anything gets lost in the mail or something otherwise unexpected) send the books before you send the money.

If you don't want to post your address, my email should be back up http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif. Otherwise, I'm on AIM as "jemfinch02".

If you want a guaranteed-working email, you can always email me at <gasp> jemfinch02@aol.com -- but be sure to tell me (here) that you sent an email there, since I don't check that mail with any regularity whatsoever.

As another small note, I'm going to be in Georgia 3 weeks from saturday (w00h00!)
