O'Reilly offers free review copies of our books. As the group rep, you<br>
may request a copy for review in your newsletter, web site, blog, mail<br>
ing list, or for your group library. Requests for review copies must be<br>
submitted by you, as the contact for your group. If you wish for the<br>
review copy to be shipped to another group member, please supply the<br>
name, address, and phone number of that member for shipment. If a<br>
review of a book has been written, please forward a copy to me. We are<br>
also encouraging user group members to post reviews to sites such as<br>
Amazon, Slashdot, and <a href="http://oreilly.com" target="_blank">oreilly.com</a>. For current user group info, graphics,<br>

prizes--just let me know if you're in need of something. (Please allow<br>
enough time for ground shipping.)<br>

Some of our authors are able to speak at group meetings. Let us know if<br>
you are interested we'll do what we can to help arrange speakers.<br>
<br>
We'll also send you links to articles, tips, and book and product news<br>
in our UG newsletter. If you opted not to receive the newsletter, you<br>
may want to reconsider, as this is the best way to know which books<br>
are being released, and serves as a reminder to request review copies<br>
for your group. Many groups post the newsletters to their members list<br>
or on their web site.<br>
<br>
What you can do for O'Reilly:<br>
<br>
- Make sure your members know about our discount by making an<br>
announcement or handing out our bookmarks with the discount info.<br>
<br>

<br>
Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to working<br>
with you.<br>
