MPG will be giving away a book each 2 weeks to commemorate the ownership shift that is taking place here at MPG. As most of you know by know, our current owner will be signing the company over to a different owner in 2 weeks, thus the MPG 2 week giveaway. While at MacWorld San Francisco, we made some great sponsors who happily gave us books for the giveaway, O’reilly and Sybex are both online book stores with a wide selection of books and other merchandise at reasonably low prices, there is a total of 10 books, 1 for every 2 weeks until supplies run out.

At the end of every 2 week period we will have a random drawing to determine the winner who will be allowed to choose a book of the list below, this entry will act as the sign up sheet for the book giveaway # 1, for all following giveaways I will post an additional entry open to comments.
