Sometimes!

I'm thinking of selling 'the Price of inequality' by Joseph E Stiglitz

@Maka I have quite a number of books on pdf, I dont know what you mean by 'good'. But we can probably do a share on Dropbox someday and you shares yours too.

At the moment I am interested in Health related matters but when time allows I read almost anything

@BGL Do you have a list of what your library looks like d'oh!
