[Hampshire] Book Reviews - "The Naught List"

Hi,

A bit later than planned but I have added a page to the LUG web site detaling
books we have out on review that are overdue a review. I will not name names
in public, but if there is any book on the list you would like to review, then
let me know and I'll give whoever has the book at the moment a prod.

If there is a book on the list and you have posted a rewiew already then it
could be that there are several copies of the book out for review so you are
not the "naughty one". It's also possible that the book is on the list in
error...

If you have a book and you can't complete a review, for what ever reason, then
please bring it along to a meeting and I'll try and get someone else to review
the book.

If there is a book that has been reviewd and you'd like to look at it, then
please contact the reviewr and ask to borrow it from them (assuming they kept
it - some people didn't [to see why read the review!]).

Finally if you have reviewd a book and fancy having a go at another one then
here are the publishers' recent books:
