While I was attending SharePoint Connections Chicago, I sent out a few requests for more books in order to restock the Chicago SharePoint User Group’s virtual treasure chest of give away items for the raffle at the end of each meeting.  While at the conference, I also picked up a box of 2010 SharePoint Shepherd books from the always generous MVP Rob Bogue. 

Over the last few days, I’ve been delighted to receive three boxes of books.

My restocked treasure chest now contains over a foot and a half of SharePoint books!
