You never know Rick, some of might wonder across them, smile at some point.
if it is a topic I don't like, I will still scan it if someone is willing to
clean it up, did If Democrats had Any Brains by Colter that way personally
can't stand the woman or her books, but someone wanted it and this saves
someone else having to do it if they didn't want to.
But you know that is the beauty of Bookshare as lissie said earlier you can
submit everything you want to if it has a copyright and itsn't dramatic.

As a matter of fact, one of the main reasons I put the several books
published by Pathfinder Press on the wish list is that they are completely
unavailable from my county public library at least. They are pretty easy to
find on line, but they would cost an arm and a leg and then some. If I can't
afford to pay those prices then I really do not expect anyone else to, but I
suppose I am hoping that someone just might happen across them.

I agree with Lissie,
I am the one submitting all the animal books, smile. And indeed if you want
it in the collection then it shall get there.
Regarding the wishlist,
I am one of the volunteers who scans from the wishlist and sometimes you
can't exactly find the books on the wishlist in libraries available to the
public.
I have looked, smile. For prime example the Redwall Series by brian jacques,
I have the last one to scan and am editing them, but I can not find anywhere
the Tribes of Redwall, Friend and Foe, and the Redwall Riddler anywhere. Not
that I wouldn't love to scan them, smile I would but I can't find them.
Smile.

Dear Denise,
Bookshare volunteers get behind an astonishing range of books. A book that is
sacred to some isn't good enough for dry rot to others. It isn't the purpose
of this list to bee a place for readers to criticize the choices of others.
Statistically, Bookshare may have a preponderance of books about Ireland,
Scotland
and Wales. I'm proud to say I have a part in that because I collect such
books and seek volunteers to scan them with me as proofreader. I often buy
second
copies and mail them in all directions to get them added to the collection.
Other volunteers have their pet authors and categories, too. I've pitched in
to bolster their projects like covering the Nancy Drew series, cookbooks,
books about Wicca, animals and basic science, historic romance, seasonal books,
fantasy and Christian fiction. No matter how wide or narrow the market, if
you care about it, you can bring it to Bookshare.
The fact there are a lot of Christian submissions should encourage you. It
means there are plenty of volunteers who enjoy them like you. Because people
sometimes forget themselves and vent their low opinions doesn't mean the
books they target don't make it into the collection. The trick is to keep
negative
comments below your radar. We're human and sometimes our lid on inappropriate
judgment slips off. Most volunteers are polite and ignore little lapses or
occasionally make tongue-in--cheek, references to them.
Bookshare is a place where volunteers can express their individuality. If
it's scannable and has a copyright, it's fair game.
If somebody wrote that Bookshare had more than enough books about Ireland and
the fanatics who kept feeding them to the system could use their time better
by preparing such and such books, I'd reply, "Never enough until they put out
cream for the faeries at closing time at all the Starbucks."
Don't let a negative comment make or break you. There will always be people
who don't share your enthusiasm. There will be messages every day you may
happily
ignore. Be inspired, be energetic, be yourself and have fun adding to
Bookshare's unique library.
Always with love,
Lissi

Jamie,
Since I'm still relatively new here, I'm wondering based on your post, is it
frowned upon to submit Christian books? I'm just curious because you said
"brave souls" and "based on all the discussion lately, I'm actually afraid to
submit anything".
Anyway, I have quite a large library of Joyce Meyer material, so I'll have to
see what I may be able to scan. I also have a few Beth Moore and Max Lucado.

If you put all those requests up, I'll spend all my time reading not
proofing. But that kind of fiction is definitely welcome in my opinion. I'll
proof
all I can. And I intend to get good at it!

Hi, I'll certainly take a stab at it. I'll also do the heaven book if nobody
does it. I want more titles in the collection by Joyce Meyer, Kenneth and
Gloria Copeland, Charles Capps, Marilyn Hickey, John Hagee--not sure of the
spelling, Mark Hankins, Lester Sumrall, Kenneth Hagen, Jerry Savelle, Jessie
Duplantis--not sure of that spelling, either. Rick Joyner, Rick Roener--not
sure of that spelling, T. D. Jakes, Juanita Bynum, John, Doddie, Joel, and
Victoria Osteen, Charles and Frances Hunter, John Maxwell, Bob Jones, Benny
Hinn, Keith Moore, and many other such authors. I made my requests known on
the lists back in August and even copied and pasted my requests from a
friend's book list into a message that was supposedly put on the wish list, and
based on the format of the wish list, I'm not sure if they were or not. Also
Tommy Tinney and John Avanzini and Jentezen Franklin and John and Lisa Bevere
and Creflo Dollar and Larry Lee and Rod Parsley and Larry Hutton and many
such others. I also would like to see more Christian fiction like Grace
livingston
Hill, June Masters Bacher, Linda Nicholson, and others. Many of these
authors and others are listed on bookshare, but they may only have one book by
the
authors and they may have written 10, 20, 50, 90, 100s, who knows. There are
over 42 books in the Mandie series--which I've proofread and helped to get
into the collection, but even with all our efforts, I'm not sure we even have
half the books. I was told we had authors like I mentioned, but I know for
a fact that Grace Livingston Hill wrote at least 100 books and bookshare has
about 10. I deeply admire the brave souls who put this kind of stuff up,
and I have a few entries of my own, but based on all the discussion lately,
I'm actually afraid to submit anything. I'm glad you are thorough and read
what you submit. It pays off in the long run. I admire Laura Ann, Linda,
Monica, Angela, and Alyssa and many more who continue to put Christian
literature
out there. Keep up the fantastic work. Have a blessed day.

If it doesn't have footnotes, do you want to proof it? I'm about to let
Kurzweil recognize all the page images, so I can let you know later this
afternoon.
I'll also read it before submitting it to make sure there's nothing seriously
wrong with it. I'm actually glad I love reading. I was going over something
else I scanned last night and realized that somehow I skipped over two pages.

Hey, sounds like you're scanning some great things, particularly the Joyce
Myer book. I'd offer to proof that, but I don't know if it has footnotes for
Bible references or anything like that. Keep us posted on your progress.

Hi.
I'm now scanning the following:
The Word, The Name, The Blood by Joyce Meyer
and
Holding Heaven by Jerry B. Jenkins
Holding Heaven should be an easy proof. It's only 90 pages long, and several
pages are blank or have illustrations on them.
There is a third book I plan to scan. I'm not sure if this title is totally
accurate since the book is not in front of me right now, but it's something
like The Joy of Encouragement by David Jeremiah.
