May I request you to add on wiki a book? please, I don't sure in my power to do it!

It is "First Be -- Then You Can Relate : On Love, Self-knowing and Relationships". There are links wich will help you in it: Booksamillion ; Amazon.

This is audio book, which I found. Maybe there is the same book? Or don't we add any audio books on wiki? --Antar, 2017-02-04


We have not done any of these audio books before. For audio, we were basically only thinking in complete discourses, and these would be documented in these kind of pages (most of that work still has to be done).

But it may be useful to add these publications, as they are typically available at major outlets. And also for this title, which turns out to be one of our "fake" titles ;-). I did some googling and made a set-up for the page. Let's see what Rudra says about it, he has a good overview.

  • I have proposed "A" for audio book. It can be argued that it should rather be MC / WAV / MP3 etcetera.

(I see many more of these, e.g. at antiqbook, ebay.) --Sugit (talk) 14:13, 4 February 2017 (UTC)


yes, lets add them to the bibliography

lets just use "A" for Audiobook but lets not create a separate edition for each different format like MC, MP3, AAC, etc because we would drawn in the bog of proprietary audio formats. today it has become so perverse that each big multinational has created their own patented audio format. i will not waste our precious time on this corporate shit. i suggest we only mention three formats : Audio cassette, CD and digital (no detail of what digital format !!).

we have to be careful not to include pirate editions. i've seen quite a few dodgy audio books that were only available on a single website. proper audio books have a registered unique code like ISBNs, ASINs, etc. and are available in commercial audio book shops.

they may also just be fake, orphaned books that have never been published and sold anywhere. those fakes usually only return one or no google hits.--Rudra (talk) 16:09, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
