A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend
So, just in case it's not clear, let me add the disclaimer that the pictures of the books are links to Amazon Affiliates. I'm trying it out - basically if you want to read the book, and you click through here, I get a little money back. Mostly I'm doing it to get the images without violating copyright, but if you click through, that's much appreciated.
