0. welcome,
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth and took a spin on our Wheel of
Fortune at LinuxWorld earlier this month! Between the server fire on Tuesday
and the snowfall on Wednesday, we're pretty sure this will go down as the
LinuxWorld of extremes. Excitement and smiles were everywhere, and we
enjoyed being a part of it. Here's hoping that LinuxWorld Boston 2007 will
be just as fun.
*************************************
1. Apress Open Source eBook Sale Through April 30, 2006
It's open season for open source! All Apress open source and open source Java
eBooks are an additional 25% off the already discounted eBook price. Stock

2. Free eBooks
Speaking of eBooks, have you downloaded our free titles at

there are eight Apress eBook titles available for free download. What are
you waiting for?
*************************************
3. $10 Companion e-Books
We believe Apress books will prove so indispensable that you'll want to carry
them with you everywhere, which is why we are offering a $10 companion eBook
to customers who purchase specially marked books.
Visit your favorite brick-and-mortar bookstore and look for Apress titles
stamped with "Companion eBook Available" on the spine. Once you purchase
your book, getting the $10 companion eBook is simple:
1. Visit www.apress.com/promo/tendollars/
2. Complete a basic registration form and receive a randomly generated
question about the book 3. Answer the question correctly in 60 seconds, and
you will receive a promotional code to redeem for the $10 eBook version
Convenient and fully searchable, companion eBooks make a valuable addition to
your programming library. You can easily find, copy, and apply code-and then
perform examples by quickly toggling between instructions and the
application.
*************************************
4. betaBooks
Apress wants to put our books on the newest technologies into your hands as
quickly as possible. Purchasing a betaBook will give you the earliest
possible access to a featured new book's chapters as they become available
from the author. Upon the book's completion, you will receive a
complimentary copy of the entire finished eBook. Check out what's available
so far: http://www.apress.com/betabook.html

5. Introducing the Apress Affiliate Program
The new Apress Affiliate Program benefits online communities, website owners,
and bloggers who publicly recognize Apress books and help generate sales.
The program credits affiliates who link to Apress eBooks a 10% commission on
