It's ok rhychydwr1, I know it was just a communication breakdown. The main reason I blocked your account was because I'd seen that you weren't online on ukb, so an email/PM wouldn't have got to you anyway. If my mailserver rejected your message then I might have been doing a reboot or something. I did come across a bit OTT on here though, so I apologise for that
On another note, it's a bad idea to post your email address here - it'll get harvested by spam-bots and you'll just end up with more crap in your mailbox. It's better to ask people to PM you or email you through the site. That way, your email address isn't on display.

Certainly the ISBN should be acceptable. Personally I'd like a few lines of description of the contents too. Linking to the likes of Amazon strikes me as totally unacceptable.
The ISBN is perfect.
I'm not convinced amazon links should be there either. I know amazon is a superb bookseller, but it's not the only way people buy books - it's better to give them the choice.
I've seen some links on there that instead of taking you to Amazon, they take you to a listings page of online booksellers. I think this is better, because it allows people to add thier preferred retailer to the list, either as an external link or an address/phone no.
I've thought about setting up an amazon affiliate account so that people (if they want) can use that to buy their preferred book and help donate to the running costs of ukb at the same time. I'm not trying to force people to do that so it would just be an option alongside a regular amazon link. If that seems wrong to anyone then plz discuss.
