Well - the author of course :roll: .
But other than that - nope.
The moderators around here are all volunteers and donate
alot of their time to JavaRanch, and if they happen to win a book now and then - well seems fair to me.
I, personally, won a book just month or so ago - and I LOVE it.
Since it is just luck, there are a few of our Ranch Hands that have won what seems to be "more than their fair share". But random drawings sometimes just work out that way. The ones that have done that have been heavy participators, so . . . seems fair to me.
