Again, this has been suggested before but although we mostly agree on certain books being basic, after that the suggestions tend to all go off in different directions so we end up with a list rivalling the Bodlean Library, full of worthy but personal preferences. We might be able to do a basic list but any additions would need to be carefully checked and there's a good chance that people could be offended if their choices aren't included.
As for a book exchange, at the moment TM rules don't permit trade of books, magazines, DVD, Videos or any other item like that. The basic guideline is that if you can use the content of something after you've traded it then it can't be offered via TM. This is to avoid people buying things, getting the secrets and selling them on whilst sill being able to perform the routine afterwards. Difficult but due purely to scammers and counterfeiters in the past, sorry.
