Shanti, the problem with forums is that nobody sees everything over time. It's hard to get people's attention in an enduring way. I'd suggest rather than trying to erect a billboard reading "here's books! come and get 'em!" that we just do what we've been doing, quietly and selectively, but do it less quietly and selectively! If it sounds, in the course of a discussion, like a poster could benefit from a book, we offer...publicly. Mention that there's a book-buying/giving consortium that would happily send a given title, and insert, at bottom, a brief invitation to others. If this happens frequently, over time, that would get the word out most effectively.
There's a thin line to walk: we don't want to make it seem like we'll just throw scads of books at anyone that asks. I mean, if someone's driving around in a Lexus and rubs his hands together at the prospect of "free stuff", that wouldn't suit me very well (even if Yogani profits the same)
. But we also don't want to make it seem like a charity thing, and embarrass people ("hey, you sound POOR...want some books?"). So maybe something like this:
----
"It sounds like you'd really benefit from Yogani's Spinal Breathing book. Here's an amazon link to it. If you're unsure it's worth investing in right now, some of the participants in this forum have pitched in to create a stockpile of AYP books, and we'd be happy to shoot you a copy. Feel free to email me for more info (click my nametag, then use the email link). The offer extends to others, as well! Also, anyone who wants to help support AYP by joining our stockpiling efforts, likewise, please email me."

If anyone has a better suggestion, speak up....I'm just getting the ball rolling....there are lots of ways to do this.
