I appreciate the offer.  The books I am looking for are on the following 
topics:

A+(Meyers or Docter or Brooks)
CCNA(Odom)
MCSE Training Kits even if it is only on Windows XP Admin(Micrsoft 
Press) or Winodws XP Inside and Out

I understand the last request may seem offencive considering this is a 
LUG but one of the people I am trying to help can not even operate 
Windows very well, he can not copy folders.  When some of them saw me 
working in a shell on my laptop they asked me if I was "writing codes" 
or if I was programming.  They want to learn basic Microsoft Admin stuff 
to get tech support jobs so it does seem reasonable.

To be clear I have little use for these books and I own the XP one and 
CCNA ones anyways.  These books are for people who to put it bluntly are 
poor and are looking for a way out of their situation.  Thanks for any 
assistance any of you can give.
