As some might now from being involved in user groups, O’Reilly has a program where they provide copies of any of their books in exchange for reviews.

Initially, if LoCos put up a link to the O’Reilly site (like the Ohio LoCo has done), they will send you a free book.

The books can be a great tool in marketing LoCos.

See the O’Reilly User Group site for more info: http://ug.oreilly.com.

Are there other publishers that have similar programs?
