I don't know if you tried this before, but with great reviews like this, I'd have no problem clicking a "Place order with Amazon" or something like that, giving you some referral money. Maybe have a few options to differing parts of the world, i.e., I can't use the American amazon.com, because I'd have to pay both American and European taxes then, so I always use amazon.co.uk (I'm from Denmark).

I always find Val Henson's articles excellent, and the comments above just seem to confirm her high opinion of the book. I'll soon have my own opinion of it ;-) Thanks Val and all LWN commentators for such a great knowledge and experience sharing. How can one live without LWN?
