[LRUG] Apress Books for Review - Any Takers?

[Ben Rooney]

I would certainly be happy to review any books for you.
As a newbie to this list (and to Ruby) I should introduce myself. I  
am a PHP developer but mainly I am a journalist (I was the launch  
editor of the Telegraph's website waaaaaaaaaaay back in 1994 -  
Netscape 0.86b was my first browser - and launch editor of the - now  
folded - Telegraph's technology supplement).
I currently work as a web developer for a small start up which uses  
both my shockingly bad PHP skills and my journalism skills.
I was unable to come to last night's session as I had to work at very  
short notice.
I am happy to review the Beginners guide - or indeed any of them - if  
you would like. Just let me know.
