One way to think of it is to treat the publisher or author (for self-published books) as the "consultant" in the terms of the policy. They are the ones providing the service, via their book. So we would allow linking to the author's website or the publisher's website... Otherwise, same criteria as consultants -- factual list, respect trademark, impartial, rel="nofollow", etc. Does this make sense?
Yes, nice idea. Another difference would be that we probably want to keep books listed indefinitely, while we might want to enforce some (long-term) "renewal process" for consultants if we notice that records tend to become outdated.
