As you probably know, I write book reviews - and computer book publishers are particularly assiduous about sending me review copies, often of titles I have no interest in. I sell some through the SRC secondhand bookshop and elsewhere, but I have a largish library of computer books in my office.
To make it more convenient for those with "borrowing rights" on the collection, here's a list of titles (not complete yet). Links are to my reviews.

Note: The intent is to help people check out books before buying copies themselves, or to give them a chance to read them, not to help people augment their own personal libraries, so please try to return books within a couple of months.
If you want information on buying books, try Australian bookshops or Amazon.
