General consensus from the mods is this:
If it is a free download, its absolutely fine, as its akin to sharing a story on the forum or linking to a blog. (infact, if you look you will see that there is a thread in the CC at the minute where a member has a free download of his writing.)
However, Should you be asking for money for people to download the book, we will not allow it on the forums. We have in the past kept quite a tight reign over stuff like this, including peoples personal shops (sorry George) and ebay listings etc.
It is felt that people posting for monetary gain completely detracts from the point of the site, and besides, if it were ok for people to post advertising stuff theyre selling, we would have to allow the DISCOUNT UGGS threads, and various other advertising spams.
In short, we are a self harm forum, not an advertising platform or source of topping up someones earnings.
