===================================
* Thinking in Java, 3rd edition, Daily 'Word' Versions

I haven't been very good at putting up new revisions of the HTML book as I've 
been working on it. However, I have been storing the Word version on the 
download site, often on a daily basis. So as a special value to newsletter 
subscribers, here is the unpublished URL for the MS Word version that I'm 
working on from day to day:

http://www.mindviewinc.com/downloads/TIJ3.zip

General details of the changes made in the new version will be at the beginning 
of the book.

I will continue to put the new HTML versions up at periodic intervals, as well.

The book is due at the end of October. The print version will appear in 
December.

===================================
* Thinking in Java Hands-on Seminar
November 4th-8th in San Francisco - Emeryville, CA.
Registration opens on September 4th.
Also in Atlanta, February 3
http://www.mindview.net/Seminars/ThinkingInJava/

Created by Bruce Eckel. We believe this is the best 
in-depth introduction to Java that you'll find.  It's based on the book 
"Thinking in Java," which was created as the seminar evolved.

Please note the early registration discount: 
* $1,600 for payments received by October 12th
* $1,950 for payments received after October 12th

===================================
* Come work on Thinking in Java, 3rd edition, in Crested Butte

All but one of the Interns has departed (he's staying through December) and we 
have empty rooms in the condo that I rented in Mt. Crested Butte for the Interns 
to stay in. If you'd like to volunteer to come up (Crested Butte is gorgeous in 
late Summer/early Fall, with excellent hiking and mountain biking), stay in the 
condo, and help work on the 3rd edition of Thinking in Java, please email 
XXX with your resume and availability dates (note that the 
book is due at the end of October, but we will be working on other projects 
afterward). There will be a technical and writing test, and interviews to reveal 
how well you self-motivate and work with others.

This should be a great learning experience and a fun time.

===================================
* Limited Number of Signed Copies of TIJ2 for sale

I'm selling the last few of my author copies of Thinking in Java, 2nd edition. 
I've signed each one and drawn a little cartoon with the signature (the books 
are in La Mesa, and I'm in Crested Butte, so unfortunately I can't personalize 
them). The cost in the USA is $40, which includes handling and mailing. Outside 
the USA, you'll have to email to the address below to find out the additional 
shipping cost.

To order, divide your credit card number (Visa, MC, Amex) into two different 
emails (not high security, but highly likely to be safe), and include your 
credit card billing address and expiration date. Email your order to:
Wayne will email you back to clarify any necessary details.
