Recently, at my suggestion, Klaus Schmid started a website where people
can vote for which out-of-print mathematics books they want to see come
back into print:
http://outofprintmath.blogspot.com
The story behind this site is explained here:
http://terrytao.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/timothy-chow-out-of-print-math-books
The site has been quite successful so far, given its modest aims, and I am
now thinking about how to extend the idea to *all* out-of-print books.
Building such a site is beyond my own (and Schmid's) capabilities, and in
any case may not be the right idea---the right idea may be to get buy-in
from an existing book website.
Does anybody here have the right contacts at those site? Or failing that,
is anyone interested in building such a site from scratch?
