You're making us look stupid!

As many of you now know, there is a handy little tab for Book Reviews on the Menu Bar.

Adding books is simple enough, you just copy all the requisite information from Amazon.com

So far we have added a great many books that are desperately in need of your review! Adding a review is just like posting, so have fun.

If you add a new book or post a review please post in here letting the world know about your glorious efforts!

Maybe people don't like to write reviews? I know I don't read them or write them.

I've read a few of these, but from the sound of things, our reviews are gonna be "I liked it; read it" or "I didn't like it; don't read it", so it feels like it'll be less dependent on the writing of the review and more on how well you know each poster and his/her tastes.

I agree. This is the first iteration of the addon and we were kind of a trial. Future updates THEY SAY will include the ability to do any item from Amazon, etc.

They should also add protections to prevent a book from being added multiple times.

It's been suggested. It's also been suggested to let the person entering the book write a review at that time and it would let us know who wrote it.

So, and I'm just spitballing here, let's say I'm going to buy some textbooks, for my classes, off of Amazon.. Should I add them on the book reviews first, then buy them through that? ...Just... Just hypothetically..
