AW asked me to review a Dave and Alex book
I was pleasantly surprised to have been e-mailed today by a marketing rep from Addison-Wesley, asking me if I'd like to be a pre-manuscript reviewer for a programming book. AW's honorarium is one of the best in the business, so it's really worth your while to hammer through hundreds of pages in a very short amount of time. The deal was sweetened when I learned it would be an upcoming title on ASP.NET v.2.0 from Dave Sussman and Alex Homer.
Damn straight.
I'd read/review a Dave and Al book on selected poetry about underwater basketweaving if they did one. I'm pulling the manuscript chapters off AW's FTP server right now.

Hi Bill,
Yeah...I'm pretty psyched to do it. The payoff's good, plus I get a free copy of a Dave and Al book? Try and hold me back.
BTW, the book is "ASP.NET 2.0 Illustrated". I guess I should have mentioned that first, huh?
