> Dear Klaus D Witzel,
>
> Thank you for your suggestions of candidates for our classic
> computer science books list. We've been overwhelmed by the response
> and strong opinions! We have decided to rename this program "ACM
> Members' Favorite Books" since it's a better match to our process.
>
> Now I'd like to give you the opportunity to "campaign" for your
> favorite book(s). We have set up a wiki for each book where you can
> view the comments submitted thus far and add your own.
> Specifically, we'd like to know what your experience of the book
> was, how it changed your life, what insights it contributed to your
> work. Using the wikis, you'll be able to share these details with
> other ACM members. If you've not used a wiki before, one of their
> charms is that a community can work towards agreement on topics via
> many contributors and editors.
>
> The campaign period will begin on January 4, 2006 and end on
> January 13, 2006, after which I will be sending out another email
> inviting you to vote. You'll be able to vote for one book, 20
> books, or any number in between.
>
> Again, the goal of this project is to identify ACM's 20 favorite
> computer science books and to make the full text of each title
> available online to members.
>
> Besides having an advocate, the book must be out of print to
> qualify. (Please know a book is still in print if its fourth
> edition is selling despite the first edition being no longer
> available. About 25% of the 600 nominations are still in print, so
> if you don't see your favorite, take a look at the In Print list
> before sending a complaint.)
>
> Please take this opportunity to enrich your fellow ACM members'
> knowledge of the great computer science books, by going to the CS
> Books Web site: http://pd.acm.org/books/classics/camp.cfm and share
> your experiences.
>
> Thank you!
>
