The London Drugs at Quadra/MacKenzie doesn't have anything as
interesting as "Learning Perl"; there was one copy of O'Reilly's
"Programming Python" as of Friday afternoon, along with a lot of Red
Hat & Fedora books of unknown vintage.

There was some iPod book that seemed to include instructions on using
Rockbox Linux on the thing, which might interest some.
