I was just updating Outside Links once again, struggeling with this huge monster, when I thought the book links really should be separated from other Outside Links.

I think they are very close to at least two sections in the monastery, namely:

• Book Reviews and
• Buy Stuff

Many of the books in Outside Links have Buy it - links, as well as links to their respective review. A lot more links per book could be added (e.g. Errata, Code-samples, etc) but frankly I'm dreading this work, as it would make Outside Links still bigger.

Books are such an important and big part in Outside Links and in the Perl Community, so I think it would be worth giving them their own page.

What do you think?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
