Who's Responsible for this Mess?

BookShelf is a ground-up rewrite based, in spirit at least, on the original Books.app for iPhone 1.0. BookShelf is written and maintained by Zachary Bedell.

A note on convention:

Typing out "iPhone or iPod Touch" over and over again gets tedious in a hurry. Throughout much of this site, the term "iThing" may be substituted freely to mean either an iPod Touch or an iPhone. BookShelf works equally well on either device, so this is just short hand.
