I know it's a long shot, but it was suggested by someone else and I may as well try. I need the following books but I don't have money to buy them and the local library doesn't like me (not an option).

XML
Apache webserver
MySQL
PHP
RedHat

If someone wants to give them to me, great. If someone is willing to loan them to me, I'll ship them back when I'm finished (by late December at the latest).

Yes, I know. I need a physical representation to consume my attention while I'm away from an internet connection and for reference if there's no net connection available.

None of those are on my "Free" list. All my books at school, I loan to people free for the semester with the understanding that I get them back. When I get them back the process starts again. It is good for everyone. Hopefully you find what you need. If you ever need some Thompson Course Technology books, I should be able to help you out there.

Plus, have you ever tried reading a .PDF document on the bus? Nearly impossible.

did you also hear there's this cool invention called a printer? it lets you take something in electronic format, and print it out on a piece of paper!!! Who'd a thunk?! :p;)

Printing out 300 pages of a PDF file that would cover the material needed isn't feasable. That's why I'm asking for frickin books.

I don't think I have any of those. Plenty of Linux books (that are 4-6 years out of date :p).

Hey now, I actually glanced at my bookshelf to see if I had a book on any of those topics...

Nik, I have 0321186486 that I could lend you for a couple months. Where would it need to be shipped to?
