Rules

This is not an advertisement page. If you present a book please take care that you don't

• link to a bookseller with your referee account in the url, without it's ok
• link to a blog, use the Publishers page and/or a bookseller
• copy and paste the description from the Publisher page
• like add a page about you in wikipedia, it's not really an unbiased review if the author/publisher wrote it
• if you don't have the permission from the publisher, don't add pictures

It would help if you

• have read the book and say in you own words what it is about
• add data like title, author(s), publisher, license, price, pages, languages etc.. Just copy an existing table.
• a picture of the book but take care of the the copyright! If it's not free, ask the publisher
• try to categorize, for example SUSE Linux, or Network when it's a book about TCP/IP
• a 'short' judgement/comment if you want (voluntary), but be polite if you don't like it

This page is just for a small overview. If you want to write a real review, please link to another page in the wiki, for example [[Review:title_of_the_book]] and add it to the category Review.
