I was fortunate enough to be near enough to O'Reilly today so I stopped and was able to pick up a scratch copy of both Perl Testing and Perl Best Practices. I was told that both titles should be available in about two weeks.

I can't say enough about how nice the people on the front desk were. If only I were closer I'd probably get all my O'Reilly books there. And FWIW, I didn't see any copies of Make on their shelves, so I don't know if the magazine is purchasable there or not.

Useless trivia: In the 2004 Las Vegas phone book there are approximately 28 pages of ads for massage, but almost 200 for lawyers.
