I always thought the Account Planning School of the Web library was a good idea but we've let it drift into sadness recently. So I'm going to try and give it another bit of a kick start.
I've built a Squidoo lens that lists all the available books. Or you can see them at this flickr group.
The flickr group is annotated so you can see the location of each book. Hopefully. If we keep it up to date. I'm happy to pay postage to you, but you have to pay for it to come back, or, ideally, on to the next person. And you have to send a decent (at least 500 word) review that we can post with the book.
Iain Tate has also contributed some of his books to the pile, I hope he's still up for this. (But Iain, let me know if you're not). If you want to contribute some of your own just add them to the flickr group and we can spread love and co-operation throughout the planning community. Then we can move on to world peace.
And can everybody who's already got a book email me and let me know, or leave a comment here, because i've slightly lost track.
Also, if you want to see all the APSotW posts on one long page you can just go to schooloftheweb.net.
Hi Russell,
I have the "Brand New Brand Thinking". Remember that I wrote you a note saying that I was late to send it back to you? I will ship it next week, is that OK? Thanks a lot!

don't worry Fernanda, no problem.
Why don't we see if anyone else would like to borrow it and you can send it straight to them?
Anyone? Brand New Brand Thinking? It's very good.

hello! i am just writing to apologize because i asked you whether you would ship to Romania as well, you kindly said "yes" and then i just didn't give any sign. i didn't ask for any book because very soon after you announced this library project, i attended a book fair and bought several of the books you suggested for reading (and i haven't read all of them yet).
and i just felt really awful for not saying anything afterwards. sorry!

Sent you an email Russell offering to read and review 'Maslow on Management'...

If it is still up for grabs, I'd like to read and review the Brand New Brand Thinking.

thanks everyone

Sorry, I've not been around much recently. I'm still in! And I've got some nice new books. I'll get a list up shortly.
Cheers
Iain
