(I couldn't find any mention of this in the archives, so I'm guess it hasn't been brought up before... I also earlier posted this via the newsgroup interface, that that copy seems to have been lost, or rejected)

Has anyone given any thought to Boost.org joining Amazon.com's affiliate program?  Since we already list several recommended books on the bibliography page, and, in fact have one book already about a Boost library plus another one upcoming, it would seem only natural.

It would just involve filling out an online form on Amazon's site, and then putting links from the mention of the books here, to their page at Amazon.

The upshot of all this, is that if someone follows the link from Boost.org to Amazon and buys a book, Boost get a commission (5%, which considering the cost of tech books, is about $2.50 each), which should go a small way to off-setting the cost of running the website, which I assume is coming out of someone's (Beaman's?) pocket.
