I'm not aware of any legal issue around lending a book to someone else. Again, the publisher has gotten its money for one copy of the book.

I'm also not aware of any legal issue around selling a used book, although publishers absolutely hate that. They'd love to constrain your rights so that, if you sell the book, you have to erase your memory of its content. In academia, at least, they address the issue by constantly releasing pointless new revisions of textbooks with problems rearranged.

I voted "absolutely not" for a host of reasons, which have been well explained by other members already.

 

If you are talking about books on numismatics this already exists on/in the Newman’s Numismatic Portal (did I spell that correctly?).

 

that happens when the key board does not keep up with my one finger typing and spell check and bill gates think they know what I want to say more than I do. Very annoying when I notice and fix it. New and improved - yeah right.

 

Argue about it all you want...reminds me of teaching middle school

 

Why not just open a book store?

 

Probably because there's a big difference between "being enterprising" and "being on the make".

 

Yes I have a tool that works for from file management

 

I donated all my hard copies to my local library to open a small numismatics section after my 2 me upgrade

 

I miss Napster

 

I dealt with copyright laws for years. Forget about it.
