"Links" cc license?

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

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. 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, FB2. Does anyone know a good, free software tool to convert PDF into something else? I tried pdftohtml but it not great at all... 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 :) guaka 14:08, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

Summaries

We should allow for short summaries on the individual book page. guaka 16:43, 17 September 2007 (EDT)

Sorting by author

I'm trying, but it doesn't work

<ask format="table" limit="3" mainlabel="Title" sort="author" order="ascending">
  [[genre::Fiction]]
  [[author:=*|Author]]
</ask>

gives <ask format="table" limit="3" mainlabel="Title" sort="author" order="ascending">

 genre::Fiction
