A good way to think of Safari is as a cross between an online bookseller, a reference library and a help desk. We're a joint venture between O'Reilly Media and Pearson that offers thousands of technical and business books online for instant access. I brought Safari Library, a new "all you can eat" version of our service, to market in September 2006, and I'm responsible for several new products and initiatives that will be released throughout the remainder of 2006.
