I
would
initially like to add a list of recommended books to some of the
pages with a review paragraph. Is it permissible ( is it accepted
practice ) to link the book into something like Amazon so that if the
reader wanted to buy a copy they can ?
[..]
PS I'm not proposing this to sell book
it's just that it's the sort of
feature I would like to see.
It's already a feature. Just insert the ISBN number and the wiki
automatically links to
pricescan.com, which will provide links to a wide
range of online retailers which carry the given book. ie,
ISBN 0844237639
results in a link to
http://www.pricescan.com/books/bookDetail.asp?isbn=0844237639
Fun, huh?
