After reading deprecated's post regarding the sharing of books, I decided to get involved.

I offered to create an area, run on Perl, naturally, where folks who needed books, and couldn't afford the regular O'Reilly price, could post a note saying what book(s) they needed.

People who had extra books could come there, see who needed what, and check off whatever they were sending, and send them.

However, as we got to talking about this in the Chatterbox, we came to the conclusion that it might be a nice addition to the PerlMonks site.

Therefore, I am posting this in hopes that everyone can throw in their vote as to whether they would like to see vroom add such an area here. If vroom would rather not, I can put one on any one of my web sites.
