In an effort to further develop the coolness which is the Boise Drupal Users Group, I've solicited a few publishers (Pact, O'Reilly and Apress) to see if they would be willing to supply us with some books for monthly book giveaways. Pact has already responded and said that they can supply us with 2 free books every quarter! Those guys are awesome! And, we also get to choose what books to order. I'm going to put in our first order in a week so we have a book for our March meeting and wanted to see if there was anything you guys would be particularly interested in.

Check out http://www.packtpub.com/drupal-books for a full list of Drupal books (note, there's two pages!), and put your votes below. I'll order whatever gets the most votes.

I'll also post back here when I hear from the other publishers.

Cheers!
Chris

I would like to see books on: advanced theme development, user experience design and optimization, information architecture, and best practices. And of course, all with a focus on utilizing the Drupal framework if at all possible.

O'Reilly and Apress books coming as well!

JBrauer has registered us as a group with O'Reilly, and I've registered us with Apress. We'll be getting books from both of those publishers as well, but I'm not sure how much control we have over which books come in from those. If you have suggestions, I'll pass them on and see if we can get them in.

Also, I've added a Distributed Group LIbrary wiki page. If you have books you want to donate to the library, just read the instructions there.

James - Are you interested in borrowing Drupal 6 Javascript and jQuery? If so, I'll bring it to the next meetup.
