I agree, though I'd say less than 3 months. I'd say one month. In the case of Julian's Cat, remembering the discussion about a poem in it here on the list, I opened it to see if it was Gary's book, and it is. It's been released, probably accidentally, since it was by the same person, numerous times, and then also by a "bookshare volunteer." Gary, I didn't download the book and I didn't see any comments, so I have no idea why it's back on page one. Cindy Dresden or something like that is the person who was working on it, and I don't think she's on this list. I think Lissi, who kindly is not using the name "Cindy" and I are the only Cindy's here--thouhh now that I tink of it, I don't think I know her last name.
