[p2p-research] Fwd: book recommendations for our online bookstore

Tue Apr 21 04:06:27 CEST 2009

I wonder if I could ask your collective intelligence input to suggest more
important books for our online bookstore, available via the top of the blog?

books that you've written or read that are in your opinion essential in a
core reading list,

thanks to Jeff for maintaining this so far,

(see also http://p2pfoundation.net/Category:Books for a much more extensive
list)
