I would like to know the site submission status - as you might guess. Thank you.

There is no other site offering meaningful categorization, RSS feeds, bargains monitoring and price comparison on the specific Java books topic. I feel concerned about the concept being copied around by other large Java-focussed Web sites. Hopefully, they still have a long way to go. Could you expand on the other sites already listed on Dmoz that you or the reviewers felt to reflect "the same" content? Thank you.

"Java Book shop" -- obviously the focus of the site, so it can only go in Shopping, not Computers.

But in Shopping -- it is merely an affiliate site, and may not be listed. And "Price comparison" categories have been heavily tainted by spamming from affiliate sites, and so we're more likely to tighten up our guidelines and delete ones that are already listed than to add new ones.

All your sales are through affiliate links. Please see

http://dmoz.org/guidelines/include.html#affiliate

for more information. You can slice those affiliate links up, dice them, whatever, we tend not to list sites of that type.
