This is a marketing issue as well as a documentation issue.
Getting the LO books on the shelves of the local libraries is a good
idea. That will make LO a more "accepted" package to some people, if
they can see the reference books in their local libraries.

Hi :)
Please could we try to keep discussions on the right lists? When something is
relevant to the documentation team we could just forwards the thread to the
documentation team for them to discuss.
Of course the docs team are interested in getting the guides out to as many
distribution networks as reasonably possible. Also they are likely to be in a
better position to decide how to make it possible. Of course the marketing
team can try to make all the decisions for them but this list might not be
aware of details. Details that the documentation team might have factored in
if they had been allowed to discuss it themselves.
Delegating is a good way to manage a project.

Tom :)

(For example, my school board operates 51 libraries, some small/others
quite large, sample texts arrive weekly to the libraries and most often
are not put on the stacks but are either left on a shelf for later
disposal or distributed to teachers who think may use them, BUT only
after being vetted by the head librarian to make sure the texts follow
school board teaching philosophies and programme expectations. If the
texts do not follow programme expectations, then they are not accepted
for library use. In our case, the LibreOffice guides fit in well but
still must go through internal vetting approval process. The more
well-known are guides the shorter the vetting process.)
In Germany many libraries start now to offer e-books. And I think many
in Canada/Australia and all over the world do this.
Why don't you try to get our e-books (epub/pdf) first in the libraries?
No expenses. When we will get in such a library then the question about
written books will come from the users.
Ok, there is for now only one epub for Getting started 3.3 [1] but this
may be an Easy Hack for documentation list doing it especially with 4.0.
And all books are available as pdf.
