Hi,
First, congratulation on the new Wiki. Good Show, Shlomi.
I looked at this page:
http://wiki.perl.org.il/index.php/Book_Review_-_The_Art_of_Unix_Programming_-_by_Shlomi_Fish
and saw the title:
"Book Review - The Art of Unix Programming - by Shlomi Fish"
I find this very misleading. It says to me that Shlomi Fish is the
author of a book called "The Art of Unix Programming" which is being
reviewed on that page.
The two most common conventions for book reviews:
1. Give the review its own title, then the reviewer's name is the only
byline needed, since the reviewer is indeed the author of the review.
This can be done both when the review focuses on a single book or on a
group of related book.
2. Leave the title of the book and change the byline to " reviewed by
Shlomi Fish"
The complete information, as it appears now below the image of the
cover, should appear in the case.
Having said that, should Shlomi ever author and publish a book called
"The Art of Unix Programming" I promise to review that book.
