Dear Grand Cindy,

As you've done before, you have conjured a helpful service for us that we didn't know we needed. I'll be interested in seeing your lists of books rated fair.

I am surprised that there are only 1,237 of them. I thought there would be more. It goes to show that we tend to notice the stones in the road more than the smooth stretches. I'm also reminded of how proud I am that no new fair books are being added and that the staff and we continue to upgrade the quality of the Bookshare collection.

I enjoyed it so much when E and others would set Bookshare goals on January 1. Since validating is so much fun for me, ideas for new goals tend to energize me. We might consider a goal of reducing that total of 1,237 to under a thousand books in 2009. I wouldn't be so rash as to suggest bsoing all of them because not all of them will attract our interest. Tracking down print copies of some of them might even be difficult, but it's a pretty good bet that one out of four are well worth upgrading.

Thanks again, Grand Cindy,

Always with love,

Lissi

Ah, Ha!!

I put "books rated Fair" in the Advanced search on the volunteer home page and they are listed, though I don't know what order--not alphabetical. There are 1,237.

Making a list will be very easy and quick, but I can't do it right now. Here is the tiny URL in the meantime, though, for the first page of 100.

I think I'll have time in between validating this week.
