Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't it be possible for us to put the keyword
"book" in the Keywords: part of the header for those postings relating to
books? Those who are interested in books only could then filter out other
postings using their kill files. Of course, it is probably asking too much
of our overworked posters that they remember to insert this keyword where
appropriate... (:-)
