Back before the web took off, my book reviews were available via ftp --
and finger.

One of my fellow postgrads modified the finger daemon for file
delivery, and though it was a bit clumsy you could retrieve individul
reviews that way:

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 REVIEWS via finger "books=title%danny"@orthanc.cs.su.oz.au [observe the ""]
 ----- ----  or this list: "index%danny"@orthanc.cs.su.oz.au ________________
 Date  Size Title/Filename (subjects)
 ----- ---- -----------------------------------------------------------------
 Jun92  613 Adventures_in_Card_Play (bridge)
 Aug92  938 Africa_in_the_Iron_Age (history, archaeology)
 Apr92  954 After_Duwagan (anthropology, ecology, Philippines)
