Line 19:
: I'm a little bit uneasy with us including reviews of the books here. I have several of these books and reasonably strong opinions about them but am reluctant to post them here because IMHO we are not a review site and a wiki is not an appropriate place for such things, given that anyone can change any review they don't agree with. Something like the reviews section of Amazon is probably the better place for such personal opinions as it allows aggregation of scores and allows the community to up and down rate other reviews as they see fit. Other than that I am all for people substantially revising old and unmaintained material. [[User:Jnc100|John]] 06:29, 28 May 2012 (CDT)
::One can still review books with some level of objectivity. I'm thinking of things like "this book covers X and Y but not Z," "this book requires advanced knowledge on topic X---better read Y first," "this book has factual errors so is thus not recommended," etc. Amazon reviews on technical books are often either misleading or not useful. --[[User:Love4boobies|Love4boobies]] 08:06, 28 May 2012 (CDT)
