My subscription copies of "C/C++ User's Journal" frequently arrive with a
separately bound Java supplement that I occasionally flip through before
recycling, so this model has been done at least once. The obvious advantage
of this approach is that you're not just preaching to the choir. I've been
pleased to see a fairly regular Python presence in DDJ of late -- makes it
easy to keep Python in the minds of my co-workers.
