What exactly should go in a book section? Reviews of books?
...if someone is willing to write a review, then yes (I've never read a book about Lua until now). Or an overview what's available (and up to date) or what the book is addressing (basic, gaming, science...) and maybe w/o partner link to funding lua/lua.space/support the community?
Oh! You mean that if we have a section listing Lua related books and someone buys them through our page we could use that as a way to fund more community stuff?
it might work, or may not ...
I don't see why not trying, specially if everyone agrees that's fine x) I was just trying to understand if that's really the suggestion :) I'll investigate how referrals like those work and in the meantime others can comment what they think :)
Do you know a lot of Lua books that are recommendable? Apart from programming in Lua I haven't read anything, and if our book section would only consist of books we don't know about it's a bit strange.
I don't think that these kind of referral links would be a viable source of income anyway, how many people do you expect to buy books through Lua.space, and how much do you guys think we would get for each sale?
I think the job section is way more promising, and should be focused on for now.

today I've made a discovery by accident while searching for lua in a mathematically field.
http://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-1-4020-9920-5 "Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Engineering Models"
Take a look the the "Front Matter", chapter 2.2 "Lua as a Programming Language". Or take a look at "Numerical Fundamentals and Computer Programming" -> "Look inside" -> last break:
Of source not the cheapest book. But what about creating a book section?
