My writing proposal was originally called "Books and Writing", but I dropped the Books part as it was for slightly different audiences. Let's hope they can both live as separate sites. area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1623/writing – juanformoso Jun 17 '10 at 13:44

With "libraries" there already is a proposal about collecting books and organizing collection of books: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/12432/… The most voted question so far would also fit there. What is the purpose of the "Books" proposal in contrast to the libraries proposal? Writing books? Publishing books? Reading books? – Jakob Oct 13 '10 at 16:14

why is "What happens in Chapter [X] of [Book]?" off-topic? If I don't understand a chapter I'm reading, is this (future) SE site not the place to ask? – Lukman Apr 24 '11 at 4:26

This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.
It was closed as part of an automated migration of off-topic to close votes on September 29, 2011.

This belongs on the writing or technical writing site. Actually, this really seems like a Google question. – Mark C Sep 18 '10 at 4:32

This may be better suited for subject matter experts - programmers using C#. Ergo Stackoverflow. There are many sources for learning C# or other programming language and books are only one of them. – Miro A. Jul 10 '10 at 18:03

Agreed, this one is too specific to a topic that has its own stack. – moodygrrl Jul 20 '10 at 13:10

a little subjective maybe? – juanformoso Jul 6 '10 at 15:02

A little, but if rephrased I think it might help. "What advantages does printed matter actually have over electronic?"...That narrows the focus and allows for an actual answer, rather than an opinion poll. – kitukwfyer Jul 18 '10 at 2:38

+1 for the rephrased version by @kitukwfyer – Miro A. Jul 18 '10 at 18:20
