BookFilter: MetaFilter for Dead Trees

Some folks today launched BookFilter, which the first post describes as:

Just like MetaFilter except we discuss books instead of Metas. Yeah, I know they don't discuss Metas there. They discuss Iraq.

Aptly targeted humor aside, BookFilter indeed looks to be exactly like MetaFilter, only it filters just one topic -- books, primarily the dead-tree editions of the same.

It's powered by FreeFilter, a tool with an eponymous MetaFilter-like site that promotes itself and notes the existence of other MetaFilter clone-generating tools.

As if the MetaFilter links were not piling up enough already, care to guess where I found the link to BookFilter, a MetaFilter clone powered by software that creates MetaFilter clones and is advertised on a site that's a clone of MetaFilter?
On MetaFilter.
