hspace="10" vspace="10">I now have an
affiliate deal with my publisher, Prentice Hall, that gives
you a massive discount — usually around 30%, sometimes as much as 40%
– off the cover price and still gives me a little more money per copy than I’d
get if you bought this same book from either an online or brick
& mortar retailer.

You can click on the Point
& Click OpenOffice.org cover illustration or href="http://www.informit.com/title/0131879928?aid=d1760229-e177-4b97-82fe-59b8f659bef7">this
link to make your discount purchase — and get free shipping,
too. Even better (at least for me), if you href="http://www.informit.com/bookstore/index.asp?aid=d1760229-e177-4b97-82fe-59b8f659bef7">buy
other Prentice Hall or Pearson books after you follow my
link, I get a tiny commission on them, too, and you get the same big
discount!

Since Prentice Hall
ships directly to you, I can’t offer autographs, but if you href="mailto:robin@roblimo.com" rel="met">email me
with “OOo Book” in the subject line and tell me you bought a copy, I
can and will put you on my (super-low volume, totally private) email
list that will give you access to new videos I make as soon as
I release them.

What the Publisher Says About Point & Click OpenOffice.org!:

“Robin’s

more people will discover OpenOffice.org’s incredible value.
A book
like Robin’s is important because it helps people master the
