Welcome to this week’s double issue of the Books And Articles newsletter. Thanks for all of the quality posts. Due to my vacation and outside commitments this week, I decided to post one newsletter covering the last two weeks.
I am happy to mention that @cleophas has begun releasing another book in the territory. Check out The Final Preserve, which is now listed in the books section. Chapter 1 also made last week’s Top Posts list.
As always, please reply to this post with suggestions and opinions on how to make this territory better.
I hope everyone has a good week.

What a writer we've got in @cleophas! I'm enjoying his book so much. Also, my mate @BitcoinAbhi stepping up with 'turning point' is fun to read!
Thanks @siggy47 for compiling this every week! (Just not in the last week. We all missed you.)
I'm going to try to not to let that happen again.
Thanks!
But you deserved it I feel. For Vegas, you can take one more week off if you want!
I have learned that when I miss time from work of any kind( I still work part time) it seems that catching up is disproportionately difficult. I'd rather just keep to my schedule. With better planning I could have.
Thanks @siggy47! I really liked the post from @ek about 5 writing platforms. Much deserving for the top post!
@AG has come up with about yoga and because I practice it, it was very intriguing for me. However I see that there are only zaps worst 200 sats and it made to one of top posts for the week. How does it happen?
Congratulations to all winners and top posts!
Remember, zaprank is not just total number of zaps. It could include quality of comments, number of comments, number of zappers, trust level of the zappers, etc. I don't know exactly how it is calculated.
Everything is grey with you lawyers, trying to confuse us proles!
those reading the code, will have more clarity
Yes, as readers of code, can they manipulate it for profits? cc: @k00b
I am still confused by zaprank, but I like it.
Thanks @siggy47! Congratulations to all other top posts! So much learning here!
Earlier this week I found out that cleophas has written 8 books for this series. Incredible.
Curated well, cheers!
That's cool, congrats! It's great to see this list growing! Soon you'll need a separate newsletter for each category!
Maybe some author interested in self-publishing can give me an opinion on this software #614879 and maybe open source alternatives?
Great recap
Had forgotten this was a double week, saw the sat split at the top, and thought this was the first-ever (I think) tie. Still, great posts from both of them.
There never has been a tie. I'm not sure if it's even possible with zaprank.

I missed a week. I'm going to try to avoid that in the future. It gets unwieldy.
