    What is the protocol for this site for linking say to Amazon? I am not an affiliate but perhaps this site is as a way to support itself, so is there any preferred way to link to a book that might be discussed? Alternatively, is it considered fair use of a book's cover image to crib same from Amazon and just post a small version of same here?

    It's ok with me if you link to Amazon. I've heard revenues from sites like amazon are very little, and would rather not obstruct our view with ads at this point. I don't have a problem with images at this point, although I don't know about legal issues. Err on the side of safe, if possible.
