No, what we did before was advise people to check the list of publishers just
so they wouldn't find after submitting a book that bookshare was getting it
from the publisher. When you choose a book you want to scan, you'll finfd the
name of the publisher possibly on the title page or certainly on the copyright
page. Then if that publisher is on the list of publishers donating books you'll
know not to waste your time scanning it.scan it. At first publisher-donated
books were replacing books we volunteers had scanned, because presumably they
were of better quality.
