&lt;P&gt;Amazon.com is now accepting pre-orders of &lt;A title="Amazon page for Sara's book" href="http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft%C2%AE-Visual-Studio%C2%AE-Tips-PRO-Developer/dp/0735626405/" target=_blank mce_href="http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft%C2%AE-Visual-Studio%C2%AE-Tips-PRO-Developer/dp/0735626405/"&gt;Sara Ford's Visual Studio Tips book.&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;This book is special, because 100% of the royalties go to a scholarship fund for students from Waveland, Mississippi, which was all but wiped out in Hurricane Katrina.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Microsoft is matching the donation of book royalties.
