Hi All On this subject, how do you get involved in reviewing books, as I'd love to do this, be there financial gain or not?

I was paid by O'Reilly for one of the books I did for them (but not for the other). It wasn't a lot, but it did also involve free books, ego strokes, etc. As I understand it, though, it rather depends on the author, and the stage at which people get involved in the process. I have a friend who has done tech reviewing for Manning, so I'll ask him, but IIRC he wasn't paid. Ben
