a feeding frenzy for the brain The Fall 2006 MIT Press Bookstore Loading Dock Sale is coming! For those in the Boston area (or just visiting), this is always a fun event and an excellent chance to find good books at great prices. Sun is a member of the MIT Industrial Liaison Program, so if you are a Sun employee and you shop in the bookstore (rather than the loading dock out back), show your ID for a discount (25%, I believe) on MIT Press titles. Here is the full text of the Loading Dock Sale announcement: --------------------------------------- The Fall 2006 MIT PRESS BOOKSTORE LOADING DOCK SALE --------------------------------------- DAY: Saturday & Sunday DATE: October 21 & 22 TIME: 10:00am to 7:00pm ROOM: MIT E38, 292 Main Street, Cambridge MAP: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=E38 "a feeding frenzy for the brain" On October 21st & 22nd The MIT Press Bookstore will hold its legendary Loading Dock Sale.
