Dear International User Groups,

Starting this month, and going forward, we have a new process for sharing our books with you.

We all know that the world we live in has grown smaller, and the effects of today's economic crisis are being felt across the globe.

We've been brainstorming ways to continue to extend the benefits of our User Group Partner Program to our international partners, while still keeping an eye on our purse strings during these difficult times.

As a result, we will be giving you 45-day free online access to our new releases. Now there is no waiting time to receive your book, there are no customs charges, and as an added bonus, you have access to all our new releases for the month, instead of just one book.

Please read the details below under Monthly Book Selection.

BOOKS FOR REVIEW

Requests for books to review should be sent to usergroups@peachpit.com and come from the group leader only.

We will email you the access code, giving you 45 days of free instant online access.

Members have 90 days to complete a review, post it on the group's Web site or in your UG newsletter (if applicable), and send it to usergroups@peachpit.com.

We also ask that reviewers try to post their reviews to Web sites such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Borders. We value the fact that you can share your opinions in other public forums!
