A Couple of Good Books for Sale

12/15/05 By

[UPDATE] The books have been sold and will be moving to a very deserving home early in the week. Thanks to all who inquired/offered about them.

I came home today to find that Peachpit had sent me a couple of books that had been arranged as part of a “payment” deal for some work I did for someone nearly a year ago…

Since it had taken so long for them to (never) show up, I figured the person had simply forgotten about our deal. Rather than trying to remind them a third time about it, I just gave up and bought the books on my own.

Now that these have shown up, it leaves me with a second set that’s going do nothing more than sit on the shelf and gather dust. These books are too good for a fate like that. Both are edited by Owen Linzmayer, are very easy reading, and I highly recommend them.

So here’s the deal. If you’ve wanted to study to take the Apple Certified Tech exams (or just learn more about Macs & OS X in general), then these books are for you. All you have to do is be the first person to drop me a line through my contact page above letting me know that you’re willing to pony up the $50 plus shipping (US only) that I’m asking for them (in order to recover part of the $75 I paid for my own set). Once you do, I’ll get right back to you and we’ll finalize the deal.
