Sorry. I can't do it either. I'm struggling with a tough book right now
and have another one lined up for my next one.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Any of you sighted folks up for picture
descriptions?

Hi Everyone,

        I have just submitted "Mother India's Children: Meeting Today's 
Generation in India," by Edward Rice.  Though it was written over 
thirty-five years ago, it is a very interesting portrait of young 
people in India at the time it was published.  The book is about 180 
pages long, but there are many photographs in the book.  Though the 
text stands alone very very well, I thought the book might be even 
more interesting if descriptions of the photographs were 
available.  I've done all of my usual work on the book, as well as 
having read it from cover to cover.  Is any of you sighted folks 
interested in doing picture descriptions?  If you are, but can't get 
the book from your library,  I'd be happy to send you either scans of 
all pages containing no text, or the book itself to work from.

And as I said, the picture descriptions are absolutely not necessary 
to make the book very very readable, interesting, and 
informative.  So, if nobody's interested in doing picture 
descriptions, the book could be put into the collection as it is 
after validation.  Any takers for picture descriptions?

Peace,
Mayrie
