Clearing out some old books
I'm clearing some space on my bookshelves and I'm getting rid of a few books. Rather than throw them out I'm hoping that someone else can get some use from them. If you are interested in any of them send me an email. Books can be collected in Sligo or I can mail them to you (within Ireland). One condition - don't take a book unless you are genuinely going to read it - unread, hoarded books make me sad and you might have blocked someone else who could have made use of it.

The Rails books cover a mix of Rails 1 and Rails 2. So they are probably not much use to anyone at this stage. They might be useful for skim reading to get an overview of how to do stuff in rails before moving onto learning Rails 3 in detail.
The Drupal books cover Drupal 6. Although the current version of Drupal is 7, v.6 is still a valid deployment option, and you'll learn enough about the internals of drupal from these books to ease your way into v.7 if you choose to.
