<P>
The webpages I provide are a free service. But should you feel the urge to contribute to the cost of my efforts in maintaining their content, you're welcome
to do so
by buying your next books or music CDs at one of Amazon's stores.
They pay a few percent in referral fees to me for anything bought by buyers
who entered their sites from here.
This makes the purchase of, for example, a £10 book equivalent to the
micropayments for a full year's worth of maintenance of these pages.
<P>

>Information on international shipping</A> may prove useful.
<P>
As this is fully anonymous, I
won't know whom to thank, but you have my thanks anyway. I'd also like
to thank Jakob Nielsen, who provided the ideal affiliate text at
<A HREF="http://www.useit.com/">useit.com</A>, which I
have liberally adopted. It's another worthy cause you could choose to support. But then, so is the <A HREF="http://www.ntk.net/books/">NTK book review</A>, and linking to
these sites is a sure-fire way to make sure that I don't make any money on commissions. Which I haven't - yet. Jakob provides interesting <A HREF="http://www.useit.com/alertbox/990711_affiliates.html">thoughts on affiliate programmes</A> such as this.
<P>
Of course, what you should <EM>really</EM> do is sign up as an affiliate
yourself; then you can give yourself money every time you buy a book
through yourself, which is why I knocked this up for myself in the first place.
However, as of April 1999 amazon.co.uk have begun pointing out:
<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT SIZE="-1">
Firstly, I have noticed recently that several orders have been placed
for items from Amazon.co.uk by associates through their own
accounts. Please understand this is not allowed as is stated in
Section 4 of the Operating Agreement. Such orders may result in the
withholding of referral fees.
</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE>
...so you need to find a friend and scratch each others' backs.
But if you're not willing to do that, passing on the opportunity (to me!
to me!) or to another worthy cause seems reasonable enough.
<P>
Speaking of worthy causes, you may also wish to examine <A HREF="http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~adam/local/fork-books.html" TARGET="_parent">FoRK book recommendations</A> or
compare prices with <A HREF="http://www.addall.com/">AddALL</A>.
<P>
A search facility for <A HREF="http://barnesandnoble.bfast.com/booklink/click?sourceid=284537&categoryid=homepage">Barnes & Noble</A> is also provided.
<P>
Many people have <A HREF="http://www.rewired.com/98/1012.html">reservations
about referrals</A>; I'd certainly find referrals without warning of
profit motive to
be distasteful.
