If anyone has one of these and is interested in any of the following, I'd love to trade:
- Artificial Minds

- Pragmatic Version Control Using Git
- Thinking with Type (First Edition)
Neat!! I had a similar idea a while ago , for any books. The idea was to read a book, then write your name/email in it and leave it somewhere where someone else may pick it up and read. Then they in turn would write their name/emails in it and leave it somewhere, and so on and so forth. It would be cool to see how many people read that book after a couple of months/years.
It's been kicking around in my closet for too long now. Free to any HNer who could use it, though I'd appreciate it if shipping were covered.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
REWORK would be great. I am in San Jose. E-Mail me? E-Mail in profile.
Jason, the email field in your profile is just visible to you, you need to add another address in the text blurb. see: http://jacquesmattheij.com/The+Unofficial+HN+FAQ#email
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 have the first three volumes of "The Art Of Computer Programming" Hard bound, some scuffs on the covers but no other damage. I also have some new RoR books that I bought and never used as well as a number books on operating system design.. I also have a lot of C++ books and a lot of UNIX books. Anyone have any really awesome Apple books for trade?
OTOH, I can definitely paypal you the cost of shipping and promise I can use them.
Just wondering, perhaps an opportunity here, is there anything like netflix for books?
...the library
Of course, if you have access to an academic library, particularly at a university with a decent CS program, start there. Particularly if you're looking for research papers, rather than books - it's what they do.
(I worked in a library for several years. * I'm assuming you're in the US - I don't know about public libraries elsewhere.
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
