The "also bought" will work with anything on amazon, but the SIPs will
work only for books that amazon has in electronic form where you can
"search inside." That's a decision made by the publisher.
Some of the books in amazon's online reader format can be purchased as
e-documents. Sometimes you can just buy it electronically, sometimes you
have to buy the paper version and then you can add inexpensive purchase of
the e-doc as a supplement.
Books available as e-docs include:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1567504574/
Communication: An Arena of Development (Advances in Applied Developmental
Psychology (1993), V. 19.)
This is the book with the Wertsch paper discussed here recently. It is a
very rich chapter that would merit a lot more discussion than we were able
to give it. The chapter is also extremely relevant to the current topic of
"interweaving."

The Essential Vygotsky (Vienna Circle Collection) Robert W. Rieber
(Editor), David K. Robinson (Editor)
Speaking of amazon: Their tracking page tells me that the truck is on its
way to delivering today my copy of
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0262112981/
Acting with Technology: Activity Theory and Interaction Design (Acting
with Technology) (Hardcover) by Victor Kaptelinin, Bonnie A. Nardi
This could be a book of very great interest to this list. It has just now
been published.
Also, while getting these links together, I found this:
http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-Language-Learning-Contributions-Halliday/dp/0826490719/
Advanced Language Learning: The Contributions of Vygotsky And Halliday
by Heidi Byrnes
It's very expensive, but maybe David or somebody could get a pre-pub
review copy and let us know if this is a good source for the LSV-Halliday
questions that have come up here.
