Huh?  I know Prentice Hall sells books at InterOp and I saw them at
Uniforum assuming they would be happy to sell me a book (and bill me
for 1 cent rounding error later as they did before).

I can understand a rule not allowing selling of computer products,
but books?  Noone takes money, but you can't say there was no "selling".
