I am a long time reader of the Take Control series of books which cover a wide range of mainly technology topics. The thing I love about the Take Control Books series is that they provide value whether you are new to a particular topic, or whether you consider yourself more advanced. Well written, thoroughly researched, and especially for those of us who can't see the screen shots, very descriptive, the Take Control Books are definitely worth checking out. Even better, they're having an awesome 20TH anniversary sale during which all their books are priced at 2003 levels or, put another way, all of their awesome books are priced at $5.00. You can read more about their 20TH anniversary or check out their awesome catalog, but hurry because this sale ends tonight, at 11:59:59 PM, Saskatoon Canada time. Now if you're like me and you read that last sentence and are thinking "Gosh, I'd love to get a few books, but somehow I've forgotten how the time in Saskatoon matches up with my local time zone.", don't feel bad because this handy resource will let you view the ending time of this sale in your local time.

I don't often recommend sales like this on my blog, but I felt I should make an exception in this case because the Take Control series has proven invaluable to me over the years and they may prove similarly for you as well.

Have you ever read any of the Take Control books? Did you decide to purchase any from this sale? Let me know in the comments.
