I eventually got around to reading this. Long, but very enightening! 
It's clear that in order to get open source CDs accepted by libraries 
demands a lot of time, effort (or rather dedication) and quite some 
expense. My belief is that our (limited?) efforts would be best directed 
at getting conventional books about Linux onto the shelves. Max seems to 
have that one worked out. Perhaps we should all spend 70p or whatever at 
our local libraries.

Before we do that, let's try to decide on appropriate titles. I suggest 
that as we are trying to introduce people to the concepts of open souce 
and Linux, that the contents of the books should not be too heavyweight.
