Rule 3.3: Requests for personalized recommendations or suggestions are not allowed. Post instead to our Weekly Recommendation Thread (always CSS stickied at the top of any r/books page), r/suggestmeabook or r/whattoreadwhen. Also try r/booklists or our Suggested Reading list wiki page. Posts asking users to list their favorite/the best book of a genre, style, etc that don't include an answer and why in the body will be assumed to be recommendation requests and removed.
Rule 3.6: No distribution or solicitation for pirated books. We aren't telling you not to discuss piracy (it is an important topic), but we do not allow anyone to share links and info on where to find pirated copies. This rule comes from no personal opinion of the mods' regarding piracy, but because r/books is an open, community-driven forum and it is important for us to abide the wishes of the publishing industry.

Books For Africa appreciates all book donations. It costs BFA 50 cents to ship each book to Africa. Consider making a financial donation to cover the costs of shipping the books you donate. Please send financial donations separately in an envelope to the BFA office: Books For Africa, 717 Prior Ave N., Ste. B, St. Paul, MN 55104, USA. Or make a donation online.
If you mail books, please do not send boxes that weight more than 50 pounds and do not include any non-recyclable packing materials such as plastic bubble wrap or peanuts. Books For Africa cannot allocate funds for the mailing or shipping of book donations to our warehouses. This helps us keep our operating costs lower so that we can ship more and more books to students who need them.
If you are interested in getting confirmation of when your books arrive at the warehouse, we recommend asking USPS for tracking on your package! Because the BFA warehouse receives and sorts thousands of pounds of books every week, relying on a volunteers to do so, we may not be able to locate and confirm receipt of specific individual packages.
We encourage Book Drive Captains to also collect money to help get book donations to the Books For Africa warehouse. Please contact b...@booksforafrica.org for our Book Drive Media Kit to help with your book drive!

If you have a similarly uncontrollable urge to read books (I've got that disease too) then here's a list of the books that I've written. You can buy the books in various paper and electronic formats).

You need to specify ID fields with certain API method calls. There are threetypes of IDs used within Google Books:
- Volume IDs - Unique strings given to each volume that Google Books knows about. An example of a volume ID is _LettPDhwR0C. You can use the API to get the volume ID by making a request that returns a Volume resource; you can find the volume ID in its id field.
- Bookshelf IDs - Numeric values given to a bookshelf in a user's library. Google provides some pre-defined shelves for every user with the following IDs:
- Favorites: 0
- Purchased: 1
- To Read: 2
- Reading Now: 3
- Have Read: 4
- Reviewed: 5
- Recently Viewed: 6
- My eBooks: 7
- Books For You: 8 If we have no recommendations for the user, this shelf does not exist.
- User IDs - Unique numeric values assigned to each user. These values are not necessarily the same ID value used in other Google services. Currently, the only way retrieve the user ID is to extract it from the selfLink in a Bookshelf resource retrieved with an authenticated request. Users can also obtain their own user ID from the Books site. A user cannot obtain the user ID for another user via the API or the Books site; the other user would have to share that information explicitly, by email for example.
