In the post explaining “[What do user trust levels do?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-do-user-trust-levels-do/4924/2)” @codinghorror references the book ‘Communtiy building on the web’.

I just started reading it and found it very useful on a meta level. Sadly the examples used are grosly outdated as the book is from 2000. (geocities is used as a prima example of how a thriving community works 😃 )

One nice other book I found myself is

[The Art of Community Building by Jono Bacon](http://www.artofcommunityonline.org/)

So I was wondering which books people like and found useful to learn the art of online community building.
