It's possible to give Dr Bob some Amazon Associates $$ (to help fund Babble) even at other forums and web sites — if you feel so inclined and it's not against the rules at the other site. You have to set it up manually, not automatic like here.
When you mention a book, give an URL like this…
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/____/drbobsvirte00-20
…and replace the "____" with the book's ISBN number.
The actual code for a hypertext link would be:
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/____/drbobsvirte00-20">Book Title</a>
(I vaguely recall someone else having mentioned this before. If so, sorry I can't give credit.)
