Hey guys,
Just another update on Barnes & Noble. I've included a link to descriptions below so you can see how Goodreads, which may have been edited by librarians, compare to Amazon and Barnes & Noble for some of the more popular books on the site. This should give you an idea for how the descriptions might differ. We're in the process of switching data from Amazon to Barnes & Noble, so we'd appreciate any recommendations on what to do based on this data.
Here's the link to descriptions. It's a big file and may take awhile to download:
http://www.goodreads.com/system/bn_bookd...
Here are the options we're considering:
- leaving Amazon descriptions and just hiding them places we can't use them
- switching entirely to Barnes & Noble
- letting librarians decide on a case-by-case basis
Please let us know if you have any feedback!

i'm not sure that i learned a lot, but it did get me to be more conscious of my running and why i do it. there were some interesting theories presented pertaining to our suitability as runners (hence the title), but mostly it engaged me because it did a good job of capturing the joy of running. it was definitely one of my better training weeks :) ]]>

at the time i read this back in college it was all i talked about for a couple of months. my online handle "lostinpatterns" was partially the result of it. ]]>

"of those interviewed thus far, my impression is that most seem to feel coding is more similar to writing than to art or engineering"
