Below are some of Newtonville Books' favorite suggestions for books to get you started over this long holiday weekend.

"Apple locks its iPhone to AT&T and prevents users from installing any software that has not been pre-approved by Apple. Consumers need a DMCA exemption to lift the cloud of legal risk that otherwise serves only to reduce competition and consumer choice."
