Jason, the email field in your profile is just visible to you, you need to add another address in the text blurb.

I'm a CS student in East Sussex, England. Having paid so, so much money to buy Uni books, I would absolutely love anything to do with C++ and Python. Anything at all.

I can also offer "C++ in 21 days" which is a decent book, barring it's awful title.

And I'll start, I have the following books (will add a few later) that I can send out for just the cost of shipping and a promise that they'll be useful to you or you'll appreciate them as much as I did: - Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (2nd ed) by Russell and Norvig (hardcover) - Introduction to Algorithms (2nd ed) by Cormen, Leiserson, Rivest and Stein. (hardcover) (a few more will post tonight or tomor…

I'd love the AI book. My undergrad didn't cover any AI topics and so I've been looking forward to spending some time with this book to get a deep understanding of the subject matter. Skynet is my inspiration :) I'm in Boston and happy to cover shipping.

Since Derek Sivers gave it to me and I've read through it, I think it'd be cool to pass it forth.

Citizen Marketers http://www.amazon.com/Citizen-Marketers-When-People-Message/...

It's not CS but it's an interesting read for those interested in product evangelism
