Okay, I've decided to give books to Ed Coffin and Mateo_Leg, based on the responses to yesterday's request.
We've got one more book left to give away. And this is how we are going to do it...
I'm thinking of a number.
Whoever guesses closest, wins.
Guesses close at 10 p.m.
Don't guess unless you really want the book.
FuturePants, Mateo_Leg, and Ed, please email me your contact info so I can have the publisher mail the book out.
