Thank you for your reasoning articles
The articles you have written are quite interesting; thank you for taking the time to write them. The only qualm I have is that the grammar made the reading kind of difficult, but I got through it.

ISBN and all that
Have you noticed that an ISBN number leads one to a page BookSources with commercial links on it. Quite useful, but did you add this or has it crept in with an update... I have a suspicious mind ie is this a creeping advertising.

Below is a list of links to other sites that sell new and used books, and may also have further information about books you are looking for. AddALL PriceSCAN Barnes & Noble Amazon.com

You probably noted how Flickr uses tags to place highly focused advertising messages/links. Quite non intrusive - at present. I just realised the obvious I should have looked at page history doh! No! Speical pages don't have history. Can a wikisysop remove them? Szczels 12:29, 7 January 2006 (GMT)


 * The whole Wikipedia Project is predicated on the possibility to make money, and advertsing on Answers.com is just one example. I did not add this features, but I knew about it, since I have been updating several bibliogrpahies on en.wikipedia.org over the past few weeks. If a user doesn't like the feature, do not use the format. Or write "1SBN" instead of "ISBN"  or whatever. Gordo 16:48, 8 January 2006 (GMT)

Re the Export Page facility
This is not too impressive it seems to provide a great block of text with no spaces etc. Surely it would make more sense to simply select and copy and paste the edit page... I don't think I'm seeing the potential of this clearly... Szczels 12:38, 7 January 2006 (GMT)


 * EXPORT/IMPORT act as a pair. I will look at the possibilties. Safari may do something to the XML... Gordo 16:50, 8 January 2006 (GMT)

Liberation Factbook
Before STA I did the Survival Scrapbooks: Shelter, Food and Energy. A facsimile of the English edition of 'Shelter' is about to be published as a P.O.D. by Mute collective.(after extensive scanning and a impressive proof the publication never materialised... Szczels)


 * What about lulu.com ?? I have already set up an account, and can publish a PDF instantly! Gordo 07:56, 29 November 2007 (UTC)


 * What did you publish and in what format? The Artist's Liberation 1986 pamphlet would cost for 22 pages b/w A4 stapled Â£2.80  but the shipping would be form the USA!! and cost another Â£2.75 or â‚¬2.99. (The Survival Scrapbook Shelter would be Â£13.30 unit cost for A4 120pp colour!) That starts to be expensive for a pamphlet even with the convenience of no storage or outlay. Also heavy carbon footprint doncha know.  So it will have to be a Lulu in the UK. But on second thoughts it might make it accessible to the odd US researcher etc.

Thanks for that POD info. Have you seen the latest Amazon 'DTP' POD? It can't do image files yet Szczels 20:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
