Can I make a suggestion? on Content and books

stustaff · 03-12-2008, 11:51 AM

We seem to be reaching the stage wher many authors offer a free book! or a publisher has a one off offer to get a book for free.

Would it make sense to have a thread dedicated to wher to get these great free books. a sticky that keeps links to all of them.

Im not talking about sights like feedbooks etc as they are on the Wiki but talking about those one off sites wher an author offers one of their books.

I see the odd post all over this site with "download X for free" and so on but Im sure some good ones have been missed by me and others as they drop away from the front pages and for new members it would be great for a single sticky that is edited as it goes along to have valid links to books like star dragon or whatever it was and that robin Hobb book etc.

Just a thought what does anyone think?

Yep! I Agree.

A sticky thread sounds good to me.
