Contribute a Review[edit]
Tell people what books you are reading, or have enjoyed as well as those you might not have enjoyed so thoroughly.
When listing a book, if you use the ISBN number, the wiki will create an automatic link to several bookstores.
Where to buy books[edit]
Bookpool.com is an excellent choice for technical books. They have consistently proven to offer good service, the lowest prices, and an excellent website over the past several years. Bookpool.com is defunct greg.rundlett (talk) 02:37, 28 May 2014 (UTC) Odd to see how I was on the web before Amazon.com, and how "mainstay" features of the technical community like bookpool.com have come and gone. Today it says the site is "relaunching soon".
Greg's Books[edit]
A while ago, I started entering all my book info into this wiki. However, I later discovered LibraryThing. LibraryThing.com is cool site that lets you quickly enter all your books, and creates a graphical bookshelf. Pretty neat.
2024 Update[edit]
I found a Wikidata related project called Inventaire which does sorta the same thing as LibraryThing, but in the fediverse with open data. The Inventaire project uses MediaWiki software for their knowledgebase at https://wiki.inventaire.io/wiki/Main_Page [1], and you can import your LibraryThing data into Inventaire [2]
