I didn't know I could search Bookshare by Publisher as I love Harlequin Books ; 
can someone tell me how to do this?  It would be so great!  I'm not a computer 
person and have no idea how to do an advance Google search and confine the 
search to Bookshare.org.  Thanks so much for any help you can give.

Okay, now I see where I made my mistake. As I said, I did an advanced Google 
search in which I entered the name of a publisher as the search term and 
confined the search to Bookshare.org and I was doubtful of my results. The 
reason I was doubtful was because I intended to search a publisher that was 
providing publisher quality books and I only got thirty-nine hits. Now I will 
reveal which publisher it was. It was Harper & Row. Apparently I was confusing 
Harper & Row with Harper Collins. Now that I see that Harper Collins is on this 
list and Harper & Row is not I repeated the search with Harper Collins as my 
search term. This time I got 337 hits. I am not sure how useful that 
information is now with the list of publishers that are supplying books right 
here, but bear in mind that you can use the advanced search at Google to search 
not only for publishers, but also for anything else on Bookshare that the 
Bookshare search engine is not capable of.
