The main reason the books aren't "up front" is because they help my career literally ZERO. Prospective employers usually are like "oh, that's kinda neat..." but then move on. When I did my first book (long time ago) I thought, yeah, this will get me noticed, but it didn't really.

The main reason I did the 2nd was to have the money to buy furniture.

The main reason I did the 3rd was to have the money to take my wife on a nice vacation before we began having a family! user added image

But maybe since I *do* have a "books" section, I must have subconsciously wanted to feature them in some way, so I'll think about a new layout for that particular page for sure.
