Comments:
 * The book is a guide to a simple everyday task. This makes the book both usefull and editable to many. It has a clear structure which makes appending easy. The book contains already the most basic information regarding the subject, but has been lacking attention for a while. --Easyas12c 20:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Comments: I think this book is very useful for any person who either enjoys the bard or needs a copy of one of his plays and the play's history for a homework assignment. Needs much help on adding plays.Brandon Johnsonn 20:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

The plays are complex, but we'd be much more likely to get them annotated as a collaboration than with casual efforts. Andrew Watt 19:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter
(renominated with 4 votes for June)

Votes: Comments: This book is lacking a lot of important information, many characters' pages have not been created, and Wikibooks need to get going on this. --Fbv65 e del (discuss)>del 16:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree, I think that we should get a good example of an annotated text/study guide up on the main page, as a template for future books. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 00:42, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I tried to fix some of the pages up etc. a few months ago, this definatelly needs it.Dolive35 18:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Comments: This book is developing a lot. It's making progress and I hope it'll come to the standards of other books like French & German. Master mind  007  16:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Korean
Comments: This book requires much work. There are good books for both Chinese and Japanese, but Korean has been neglected. For English-speakers trying to learn an oriental language, Korean is the most preferale because the Hangul writing system is phonetic, and words are divided up into syllabic blocks.

Comments:
 * I think this book can rapidly become a valuable source of information, if only we make some effort in it. It has a solid base... but it's still unfinished. Sblive 21:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I am a messed up programmer: I use C, C++, C#, Fortran, Python, JavaScript, php, etc. I know what you can program, but all languages have their own special syntax - I'd be really happy to see a structured quickguide to C#. This book has my vote (although I'm not registered in wikibooks I have a english/swedish/common wikipedia useraccount) /sv:User:Per9000 20060622 1518 CET

Comments: I see that it's a nice book related to Physics with good illustrations and diagrams. Nice! Master mind   007  16:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

So much to do and so little time... The mathematical approach in particular needs a lot of beefing up and elaboration in this book. The more helpers the better.

Comments: This book has alot of potential, and could attract alot of contributors if we put it up on the main page. I think it's in a good condition, even if there are a few stub pages and sections here or there. --Whiteknight (talk) (projects) 17:03, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
