Some days I really love my job 
Been wanting to get 2 books now for a while now - HTTP Developers Handbook and Mastering Regular Expressions. Granted they aren’t directly related to PHP - but they definately will come in handy when I’m coding. But just can’t rationalize the money to buy and ship them (shipping to Guam costs almost as much as the books).
My savior to this quandry - codewalkers.com. They were/are looking for book reviewers. In exchange for a book review I get the book for free - and they even let you request the book you want to review. How’s that for a deal.
So I sign up as a reviewer and request if I can review HTTP Developers Handbook and Mastering Regular Expressions. And they actually said yes. Give Matt at codewalkers a few bits of my pertanent info and the books will now be coming out to me in the next few weeks. Outstanding!
They have a couple of other books looking for reviewers (one of which I was interested in reading also), but I get the feeling I’ll be a little busy for the next couple weeks/months. Ah - Life is good today.
