Reference book collections?

how about a list of reference books that everybody has? I'm not suggesting that we go out and wholesale scan in entire books (copyright and all that!) but it would be nice to see who has what so that we could pm them?
For instance:
I have Panzer Colours volumes 1,2 and 3, Janes Armour and Artillary 1990/91 and 2005/06, and Janes Military Vehicles and Logistics 2006/07

Just a thought?

Hi Tony,
I was trying to draw the line between people's private collections and what is available on line - if I scanned in the entire contents of my collection and made it available on line, not only would I get arrested for copyright infringement - I would also need far more disk space and bandwidth then I have right now!

I was thinking if we all posted our book lists here, then fellow members could PM us with specific questions which we could answer without breaking copyright laws?

Sounds like a good idea Matt, if you are going to put a new board in, it might as well be for all types of reference ;)
