Lovera Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Why on BBO there is not (or almost spotted) a library with a list of available books ? This one could be very usefull (anytime home editors can interfere not positevely for own commercial issue). To better explain of what i'm talking about i take the (smart) url of this club: http://www.brisbane-water.bridge-club.org/node/2714The library can matched automatically when is indicated a book in a post by a BBF, can have a collateral box with an indication (as "bonus for a gift", PDF is available, prize if anyone wants to buy it, etc.).

sfi Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I am not sure I understand your point. The list you link to is a physical library at the Brisbane Water Bridge Club (a medium-sized bridge club near Sydney, Australia) - not an electronic library. The list shows what books they have available to their member, but it is not a complete list of all books or all books available electronically.

How to find by a follower if interested ? In the alphabetical list (as indicated for example to realize) we know that the book is (in the Url __) ; or is available if anyone want to buy (at the prize of __) ; can be indicated that is available PDF (simply clicking on) ; i.e. you can have (the "bonus" case for a BBF).

Lovera Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Apart the consideration that the home page of this club seems to me nice to see, rich in details and good esthetically, i've post the url it being that a similar list of an "extensive library" is actually lacking on BBO. It is almost obviuos how much can be usefull when anyone is searching for a book with a great gain in time in case a book is listed. I have suggest for any ultherior details but almost a simple list of availabe books could be considered to realize. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfi Posted July 24, 2017 Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Pretty extensive library for a medium-sized club. Maybe, but it is not a bad club at all. IIRC, they were looking at building their own premises a few years ago, so it is doing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampyr Posted July 25, 2017 Report Share Posted July 25, 2017 What means "Just find it on Amazon?" If it is too difficult to find bridge books on Amazon, there are other, more specific websites you could try. The ACBL, EBU, Bridge World and Mr Bridge all have online shops with bridge books. Similarly Chess and Bridge is a shop with a website and Baron Barclay Bridge Supplies is (I think) an online-only retailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
