I'm envisioning a book-trading social network, based on a libre database of all known book publications, commercial, community, or self-published.

People keen to get particular books, or versions of them, can indicate that with a wanted notice. Potentially including a price offer.

People who have books they don't want to keep, can search the wanted notices, to see if anyone does. Whether as a freecycle, or for a price.

Any thoughts about this, including how to do it?

Beatrix Potter is best remembered for her charming tales of Peter Rabbit, but did you know she also studied #science?

Potter collected & examined beetles, butterflies, plants, bird eggs, shells, rocks, fossils & especially fungi. She conducted experiments & wrote a scientific paper with her own illustrations, presented at the Linnean Society of London. However, as a woman in the Victorian era, she couldn’t even attend the meeting. #history #art #books

I spent my £0.25 wisely this morning, as now I know All The Words.

As long as the word you want is about a computer, and you don't want to know about anything after the year 2000.

As a special, time-limited offer, I will give a free definition from this masterpiece to the first ten people to reply with a computer-related term.
