I love books. Yes, I have a shelf full of computer books (Excel, Photoshop, PowerPoint), but I also love books with interesting maps, books about graphic design, and more.
Last night, I read about a new website called Shelfari.com. This is a fantastic new way to discover new books in which you might be interested.
Create an account at Shelfari. Add about 10-20 of your favorite books to your virtual Shelfari bookshelf. The Shelfari search finds many books, but for a few of them, you need to use their "Search Amazon" button.
Here is the cool part: Once you've added your favorite books, look in the left navigation for a link to your Home page. On your home page, Shelfari will show you other members who happen to have some of your favorite books on their bookshelf. These are sorted so that those with the most books in common show up at the top.
Click on the other members in this list. You might find someone who shares your interest in graphic design books. It is then very interesting to browse their bookshelf to discover books that you don't have in your collection.
If you set up a list, invite me (my userid is bjele) to be a friend. In a week or so, I can report back with a comprehensive list of the Excel books in my friend's bookshelves.
