Actually,
For purposes of commercial use, it's a copyright violation. However, if we were to set up a library list of books that contained specific information for personal and private use, then that's within legal limits.
So, although I may not be able to post a copy of a page online, I could at least tell you wher you can find it...
Modelwarships.com is working on a model database much like what you're discussing here. A list of ships broken down by nation, type, and class, with what kits are available, in what scales, and what related reference materials go with those ships, books, PE sets, resin parts, etc...
This way, if someone posts up... "I want to build a model of a Fletcher...help", you simply point them to the database, and there's a list of the available kits, reference books, etc.
No reason why we can't integrate this into the kit projects under the title of 'General Modeling' books, then break it down according to type, rigging, planking, etc...
