Hi folks,

[cc'd to Jordan in his PR and Corporate Liason role]

I've just been poking around the _Amazon_ and _Barnes and Noble_ websites.

>From what I can tell, both of these companies are running 'affilliate'
programs. In a nutshell, you include links to books that people can buy
through them, and they pay you a percentage of the purchase price of all
the books that are bought through your links.

This seems like a good way to earn at least a litte money for the project
via the web site, and also raise the profile of the books that should be
on the shelf of every FreeBSD administrator.

Initial links to both those companies' schemes are

   <URL:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/partners/associates/associates.html/001-6884290-6035443>;

and

   <URL:http://www.barnesandnoble.com/affiliate/index.asp?userid=5TDJ0XHBF8&sourceid=00000184320014612423>;

(copied straight from my browser, you may need to trim some of the dynamic
crud of the URL).

Thoughts?
