19 oct 2009 - back on the case
I am shotHotBot on Metafilter too - please ME-mail me there. The idea is to collect all the book related askMe posts. I guess I will start with today (18 November 2007) and work backwards. How far back will be go before tags? Who knows. Depends if I really am out of work next year.

Also, I am skipping the "what book is this" questions as I think they are unlikely to be useful to others. Shothotbot 14:17, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
