And the only reason the first books listed aren't in the collection is
because they're VERY difficult to scan accurately and proofread without a
copy of the book in hand that can be checked for accuracy with eyeballs. I
tried a couple of them with embarrassingly disasterous results. Lots of IM
speak, and emoticons. The entire books are computer conversations. So, go
Bookshare! We are not repressive!
