Hi, Wanda, it sounds okay to me. Also, I'm of the opinion that diet
books should have their own category to distinguish them from cookbooks
which are primarily concerned with recipes. I suppose one can
distinguish food fiction from the food and wine category (I hope so
anyway.) There are some of us who think science fiction should be in a
category by itself and that there should be a fantasy category so that
sf readers can be assured they're getting science fiction and the
fantasy lovers don't have to weed through the science fiction category
to get what they like. Come to that, Wanda, you can have politics and
government or public policy. I suppose you can have a category based on
polemics which can be termed political argument or opinion. Heavens! One
can come up with a variety of categories. Regards, Kim Friedman.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Got the credit and a suggestion
Hello. I got an email last night saying the book was approved and
that I received the credit. Thank you for your responses. I'm happy to
hear that this is not normal and this falls into the category of stuff
happens. I wanted to make a suggestion that a new category of books be
added to the category of books, called political or government. I just
proofed the book "Searching for God knows what," and it was in the
nonfiction and religious category. I read the book and there is
discussion of politics and since this book is for people who are seeking
a religious connection, I felt that there should be an awareness to a
potential reader that public policy is being addressed in the book. It
would irritate me to choose a book in the religious category and then
get halfway through the book to find the author is using the book to
inject their political point of view,right leaning or left leaning, I
think I should know that politics is involved, especially if I
downloaded a book for spiritual guidance. I like to keep my church and
state separated. I know politics is a thorny issue, but perhaps any
book that directly discusses public policy could fall into the politics
category as an additional marker to the reader. What do you think?
Wanda.
