== "Links" cc license? ==

I don't see any evidence the following entry is actually licensed. The "CC-licensed version" points to another book.

[[Image:links2.jpg |left|]]
Title: Links:-Science Fiction
Author: Jitendar Singh
Publisher: Online:-http://koolestfiction.com/Link_Intro
License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/
CC-licensed version: http://www.accelerando.org/book/

Please move this back to the article if you can provide evidence it is actually licensed and meets the other requirements for listing. [[User:Mike Linksvayer|Mike Linksvayer]] 18:24, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

== PDFs ==
Most books here are only available in the PDF format. And I don't like PDFs! I prefer HTML or even better, [http://wikipedia.org/wiki/FictionBook FB2]. Does anyone know a good, free software tool to convert PDF into something else? I tried <tt>pdftohtml</tt> but it not great at all... [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 21:22, 14 September 2007 (EDT)

==Collection==
It would be nice to spread a whole bunch of these books in one file (or several). I might create one myself :) [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 14:08, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

==Summaries==
We should allow for short summaries on the individual book page. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] 16:43, 17 September 2007 (EDT)

==Sorting by author==
I'm trying, using [http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Help:Inline_queries the Ontoworld documentation], but it doesn't really work:
<pre>
<ask format="table" limit="3" mainlabel="Title" sort="author" order="ascending">
[[genre::Fiction]]
[[author:=*|Author]]
</ask>
</pre>
gives
<ask format="table" limit="3" mainlabel="Title" sort="author" order="ascending">
[[genre::Fiction]]
[[author:=*|Author]]
</ask>

== Disappeared books? ==

The books have disappeared. I added mine back, but does anyone know what happened to the others?

This is a list of '''books''' available under a Creative Commons license.

By "book" we generally mean works over 35,000 words that are or have been commercially available in hardcopy and have an ISBN. We've expanded the definition in two added sections below, however, to include the most popular books published through do-it-yourself press Lulu, and "books" published on websites of established organizations or notable blogs.

This is just a start and is woefully incomplete. Please add missing titles and fill in missing information.
