 * Last month, the last vote was made 37 minutes after the deadline, otherwise there would have been a tie with HSE. I still think it is time for a language book to become book of the month this time, and with the speed of growth of the internet in China, Chinese will be internet language #1 in a few years. --Andreas 13:28, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Movie making manual (1)

Comments:
 * A practical guide to the world of making feature and short films which has a lot of potential to stretch itself. EuropracBHIT 05:52, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC).

 * A very unique book where the contributors show a great degree of mastery of the Wiki (for instance, it's easy to get around with the sidebars on the right) and it promotes a safe and healthy physical activity. EuropracBHIT 05:59, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC).

What You Should Know About Medicines (1)
Votes:
 * 1) User:Charlie123

Comments:
 * Nowhere near finished, but a great idea which deserves to succeed.
 * I don't think an idea is enough to be presented as "Wikibook of the month". There are really a lot of great ideas for Wikibooks out there, but transforming this idea into an actual great book - this is what we want to award here. --Andreas 13:55, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Comments:
 * Obviously a book that will never be finished, but a good start. Organization is the key to keeping this one going, and that seems to be happening - marsh 17:37, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

UK Constitution and Government (1)
Votes:
 * 1) marsh

Comments:
 * Still like this little book that is "finished". Can use some polish, but that is really what Wikibooks are all about: get the book out there and readable, then rub, rub, rub til it shines - marsh 17:37, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * This "how to" book has a good deal of useful content and is a great work in progress.--Hyperlink 07:06, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * This book I feel is still a work in progress. I'd really like it exposed when it is ready. The new split format I think can allow it to go more indepth. Reub2000 04:36, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I think some more good touches can easily be put on before april. I'll be trying to do a bit of "last minute editing" and such myself if this ends up getting it. I'm also planning on either finding or opening up my computer and taking a suitable picture myself.--Hyperlink 08:55, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * I think some expansion is direly needed, especially on the actual building part. I can work on this during my spring break, which is in a couple of weeks. This needs a few other things I feel before it should be exposed. Wouldn't you like in May or June, when we can show someone one of the most throrough guides to making a computer on the internet.

 * I retract my vote in support of the original author's judgement.--Hyperlink 01:27, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi guys, if you don't want to vote for this book anymore, please vote for one of the other books here. ("US History" for example is a really good and for long finished book!). Take some responsibility, vote for the best. --Andreas 10:12, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

 * A very informative book which might allow a new user to get started right away and create people and animals as well as other images. It is also written entertaingly, with a good stretch of experience and learning. -EuropracBHIT 05:29, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC).

 * Very complete stuff, especially the guides for all writing systems and the Japanese Proficiency Test. Good links to East Asian orthography and also to Japanese cooking! -EuropracBHIT 05:29, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC).

 * Easy for those new to calculus to understand. BJ 12:21, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * The differential equation part has been helpful... --Lemontea 03:44, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
