I subscribe exactly to Bob's point of view.
"Commercially or otherwise publically available book" ought to be the
criterion to ask for - I wonder if there was a way to discuss the
multiple poll choices here before starting the poll?

The current poll and the result so far is obviously meaningless since a
very important option has been excluded from the available choices.
