I've been cleaning my office today, and I need some help on a problem I have.
Back when I wrote my C# book (A Programmer's Introduction to C# (still available at
better booksellers everywhere (Eric needs to pay for his season's pass at Stevens
Pass (where it snowed this week (view the webcam))))),
I was lucky enough to have the first edition translated into a number of different
languages. Whenever a publisher would finish a translation, my publisher (Apress,
new owner of most of the Wrox titles) would send me a box of books. I always put one
on the bookshelf, and when I had one that I thought somebody would be interested in,
I'd give it to them. For example, I gave my Czech mother-in-law a copy of Začínáme
programovat v C# , and Anders got a copy of
But after a while, I exhausted the humorous potential of giving relatives copies of
books that not only covered topics they didn't understand, but were written in languages
they didn't speak, and I'm left with a number of copies that I don't know what to
do with. Most are the first edition of the book, which is nowhere near as good as
the second edition.
So I'm looking for ideas of what to do. I currently have:
7 Danish
1 Italian
4 Dutch
4 Korean
2 Korean (2nd edition)
2 Chinese
2 Polish
4 Czech
